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.

The Lexington Public Library actively reviews and labels materials in our archives with statements that indicate how you may reuse the images, and what sort of permission, if any, you need to do so. Please check the information for each image to determine its legal status.
