Historical and genealogical societies play a prominent role in preserving records and promoting research. These organizations may or may not have their own archives. Major Kentucky societies are the Filson Club, Kentucky Genealogical Society, and Kentucky Historical Society. See the "[[Kentucky Societies|Societies]]" section of this outline for information on these and other Kentucky societies.
