Kansas Humanities Council

About the Kansas Humanities Council

Founded in 1972 as a nonprofit organization, KHC has helped Kansans tell their stories and appreciate those of other times, places, and traditions.

Believing in the power of ideas to open minds, spark imaginations, and nurture community, KHC programming provides opportunities for lifelong learning and encourages informed participation in civic life . Both are fundamental to the future of our state and nation.

Small towns, rural communities, and the state's urban areas all enjoy humanities programs funded by the Council. Every year KHC supports programs that reach over 500,000 Kansans. All 105 Kansas counties have hosted activities underwritten by the KHC.

If you would like to locate a Cemetery in another county or another State, check our USGenWeb Tombstone Transcription Project first.  Perhaps someone has listed this Cemetery for you to research.

Midwest Historical and Genealogical Society would like to place a link from their KS Cemeteries Page to all of the Kansas pages that have tombstone inscriptions on them (see example: Edwards Co. - Fellsburg).  If you have walked a cemetery and would like to contribute please email  Rebecca Maloney  and she we will get it online for other Researchers to use. Thank you very much.

The KyGenWeb Project

In March and April, 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Kentucky comprehensive Genealogy Database Project. The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky, where collected databases would be stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross linked, so that even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be located in the index. At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page.

The USGenWeb Project

In June, as the Kentucky project was nearing completion, it was decided to start a page for each of the remaining states, and as with the Kentucky project, volunteers were found to host the state pages. Are you interested in hosting one of the other KSGenWeb orphan counties?  Information about the responsibilities of a county host can be found by clicking here.
