The Kent Historical Society has existed since 1912 and offers free programs in Studio One of the Chatham Cultural Centre and at other venues on a regular basis throughout the spring, fall and winter. There are no meetings in December and February. Each program highlights a different aspect of Chatham and area's past with speakers on a variety of historical topics. The Society has generously donated some of their publications for inclusions in the Chatham-Kent Public Library's digital collection.
