Hello! I have been contacted by a woman who has a runaway slave poster ad, for which she is seeking a suitable repository. The ad has been passed down in her family, originally came from Lexington, Ky. and she would prefer to deposit it in a museum there (I assume an archive would also be acceptable). I’d be delighted to get any offers, leads, or suggestions from those of you more familiar with Kentucky institutions than I am! Thanks!
