Services





Genealogical Research - We assist visitors to the library in this area. If you are unable to visit but would like research done email us at: laurelcountykyhistoricalsociety@yahoo.com
or send a letter to Laurel County Historical Society 310 West 3rd Street London, Kentucky 40741.

We will provide approximately an hour of research at no cost except for copies (.25 cents each) and shipping and handling charges. Since the society is all volunteers you may not get an immediate reply. It helps if you ask specific questions and give us enough information to permit us to do the research. Please tell us the sources which you have already searched so we don't waste time duplicating your searches.

Storage of artifacts and documents - We will gladly make copies of family photos at no charge and store them or you may donate originals if you wish.
