Kentucky Society of Natural History Records, 1939-1994.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/59761173

The Kentucky Society of Natural History Records contain a variety of documents detailing the KSNH's finances, member rosters, the annual photograph contest, and board and committee minutes. The KSNH records span from 1939 to 1994. The society was founded for the purpose of conservation and nature awareness. During the 1970s, the KSNH sponsored educational surveys of trees, wildflowers, and butterflies for elementary and high school students. Newsletters such as the Kentucky Naturalist, chapter newsletters, and monthly bulletins informed members of internal affairs such as the election of officers and meetings, membership dues, and news concerning nature and conservation such as the preservation of the Falls of the Ohio. Clippings from the Courier-Journal Magazine from the 1940s to the 1980s depict the award-winning photographs from the annual photograph contest and articles concerning nature and conservation.
