A new offering from the Kentucky Virtual Library, Kentuckiana Digital Library (KDL) is "a digital library of primary sources and access aids selected by Kentucky archivists representing 15 Kentucky colleges, universities, libraries and historical society repositories." For those scholars and researchers interested in Kentucky's past, KDL gives ample materials at which to look: photographs, collections of papers, oral histories, and more. Once a collection is selected, the interface, though at first in frames, is relatively user-friendly. Another great feature, especially for researchers already familiar with Kentucky historical resources, is the Finding Aids section, which provides an easy-to-navigate list of guides that takes users into various collections, sorted by collection-owning college or organization.
