The majority of records span from 2000 to present day. However, as various historic collections are digitized, they will be transferred to KSDA. These include scans of the Governors’ Executive Journals and Work Projects Administration (WPA) photographs.
The Kentucky State Digital Archives replaces KDLA’s e-Archives.
The Kentucky State Digital Archives is powered by technology from Preservica.
