The Kentucky Council on Archives, organized in 1976, is an association of archivists, historians, librarians, records managers, and individuals interested in the advancement of archives. KCA's mission, as stated in the constitution, is to promote cooperation and exchange of information and to encourage repositories to properly administer archival materials. Its meetings and publications offer opportunities for the exchange of ideas between members. KCA also provides organizational support for the aims and goals of records repositories in the Commonwealth, including business and religious archives, public and academic libraries, historical societies and museums, and government records centers.

KCA meets twice a year, in the spring and fall. Programs of general professional interest are offered at each session and organizational business is discussed at the spring meeting.

The organization also publishes a biannual newsletter, The Kentucky Archivist, which is issued prior to each meeting. It contains articles on archival activities in the state, and news of national and local events affecting archives, as well as previews of the upcoming meetings.

Membership is open to any interested individual or institution. Institutions are non-voting members.
