KCHS General News

The Society will make the John Burns' publication 'A General History of Covington' available on disk. Approximately 300 pages have been completed so far. The Society is still looking for volunteers to index this book. The Board has also decided to write a comprehensive book on Covington/Kenton County to be ready by about 2010. If you have editing or literary (or fund raising!) skills, please contact the Society by e-mail or postal address. Thank you.
