The Department for Libraries and Archives is the central repository for city-, county-, and state-level records. It has two facilities of particular interest to genealogists. The state library has printed materials, and the state archives maintains original Kentucky government records and other historical documents. Many of these repositories’ records are being microfilmed, and copies are being sent to the Family History Library. The Department of Libraries and Archives responds to genealogical requests but prefers that requests be sent on a form available on its Internet site or through the mail. | The Department for Libraries and Archives is the central repository for city-, county-, and state-level records.

While the Margaret I. King Library does not specialize in genealogical records, the Department of Special Collections and Archives maintains many items that lend themselves to the study of family and local history. The materials include church records; genealogical collections; historical manuscript collections; the Draper manuscripts, described in the "[[Kentucky Genealogy|Genealogy]]" section of this outline; county and local histories; county, state, and federal records; and a biographical file.<br> | While the Margaret I.
