Description
The Kentucky Genealogical Society is pleased to be able to award money grants to repositories or other holders of genealogically significant Kentucky records for digitization. Applications for the 2023 Grant Cycle are due on November 1, 2022. Digitized records will then be made available online free of charge.
The Society launched this digitization grant program in 2019 to encourage the digitization of records that are at risk from being lost forever or are otherwise valuable to Kentucky genealogical researchers. As events in 2022 demonstrate, some Kentucky records are one fire, flood, or tornado from being lost forever. These natural disasters can strike at any time.
The Digitization Grant Program furthers one of the Society’s primary missions to encourage the preservation and availability of Kentucky records that are essential to genealogical and historical research.
Eligible records cover a wide variety of topics such as newspapers, directories, school or organization yearbooks, church records, trade or vocational records, funeral home records, and pension records. This list, however, only scratches the surface on the records in need of digitization.
The Digitization Grant Program is funded by the generosity of members and the general public. Anyone wanting to contribute may do so here.
