The Newport Historic Preservation Office has a collection of books available for your use, as does the Newport Library. The Office also maintains subscriptions to several journals, from which many of the articles have been cataloged. If you have an interest in any of the sources, or would like articles from any of the journals, please contact the office. Staff can look up particular topics of interest to you and put together a packet that suits your needs. While some books listed are out of print, others may be good suggestions for your own collection. Contact me by phone at 292-3666, or by e-mail at EJarzen@newportky.gov if you would like additional information.
