KHS Wins Gold ADDY® Award for Web Site

KY Historical Society Web site

The Kentucky Historical Society (KHS) Web site, www.history.ky.gov, has been recognized with a Gold ADDY® award in the category of Consumer HTML/Other Web Site. Organized by the Lexington Advertising Club, the ADDY® Awards highlight the best creative work being produced in the central Kentucky area.

Visitors to the KHS Web site at www.history.ky.gov can explore a wide variety of features, content and services, such as an online exhibit of the Toyota Kentucky Hall of Governors, conduct family history and genealogical research using KHS databases, view KHS’s calendar of events, and plan a visit to the Kentucky Historical Society’s History Campus, which includes the Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History, the Old State Capitol and the Kentucky Military History Museum. Visitors may also sign up for KHS’s monthly e-newsletter by submitting their e-mail address on any page of the Web site.

“We are very excited to win this Gold ADDY® Award for the Kentucky Historical Society Web site,” says Kent Whitworth, executive director of KHS. “The Web site is another valuable tool that assists KHS in providing connections to the past, perspective on the present and inspiration for the future.”

This is the second consecutive year that a KHS project has been recognized by the Lexington ADDY® Awards. In 2006, a 30-second television spot, created by Element Studio for KHS, was recognized with a Silver ADDY®.  Sponsored by the American Advertising Federation, the ADDY® Awards honor excellence in advertising and cultivate the highest creative standards in the advertising industry. Local winners, including the KHS's Web site, proceed to 14 regional competitions.  The regional winners proceed to the national finals.
