Submissions for the Community Collections are open. If you are an individual or organization interested in possibly lending items to be digitized by the library, please contact elibrarian@lexpublib.org. We consider item age, location, content, relevance, privacy considerations, and item condition when determining items to add. Content donors must be the legal copyright holders if the item is not in the public domain.

It contains a fraction of the Library’s physical holdings, which are housed and available for reference in the Kentucky Room at the Central Library.

Please check the information for each image to determine its legal status.
