Based in Topeka, Kansas, the Kansas Historical Society is a mid-sized state agency founded in 1875. It acts as the state's official custodian, designated as the keeper of state records since 1905 and entrusted with preserving the narrative of Kansas history. The organization seeks to help individuals understand and value Kansas heritage and its relevance to daily life. It operates through four divisions—Administration, Cultural Resources, Museum and Education, and State Archives—and maintains a close relationship with the Kansas Historical Foundation, a sister nonprofit that handles fundraising, membership, and retail to support its work. Its primary audience comprises researchers, educators, students, and general visitors who engage with its museums, historic sites, and archival resources. The Society functions within the Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos sector, preserving records and artifacts while offering educational programming to illuminate Kansas history. In 2023, Patrick Zollner was appointed executive director, signaling leadership continuity for the organization.
