The Filson Historical Society is a source of many historical and genealogical records of Kentucky. It began as a private society to study Kentucky and Ohio history and culture. Their holdings include portraits, photographs, books, manuscripts, public records, family histories, and artifacts. It is an organization dedicated to providing continuing adult education in the form of quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal, Ohio Valley History, a quarterly magazine, The Filson, weekly lectures, historical tours, exhibits, reading and discussion groups, weekend-long conferences, a field institute, and excursions. ''Do not underestimate the value of historical societies located in the Commonwealth's major cities as often rural people would migrate to urban areas for employment or other economic opportunity. As a result, family ephemera which belonged to your distant cousins from a family that originally lived in a rural area, may have found its way to a historical society or research library in a major Kentucky city.'' | The Filson Historical Society is a source of many historical and genealogical records of Kentucky.
