The State Library

(books, sound recordings, videotapes and films, newspapers and periodicals,
and government documents).
The State Archives Research Room
The State Archives Research Room provides
access to state and local government records to customers from government
and the public. Customers of the archives use government records for
research in legal issues, family history, Kentucky history, and many other topics.
The State Archives Document Preservation Laboratory
The Document Preservation Laboratory provides
a range of services that stop deterioration and improve the condition
and appearance of books, documents and other paper records. Services
include cleaning, tape and glue removal, mold treatment, humidification,
deacidification, and encapsulation.
The Kentucky Talking Book Library
The Kentucky Talking Book Library provides Braille and recorded reading materials to Kentucky
residents who are unable to read traditional printed materials due to visual or
physical disabilities. Facilities include a machine repair area,
book storage, and a recording area where volunteers record Kentucky-
related books.
[Due to its recording schedule, the Talking Book Library prefers to have visitors on Fridays.]
