The Hardin County Historical Society (HCHS) promotes the preservation of the county's rich history through various projects and programs, including the publication of the Hardin County Historian.
Membership in the Hardin County Historical Society entitles the member to the current year's issues of the Hardin County Historian (ISSN 8755-6073). The journal is printed twice a year. Membership also entitles one to vote on HCHS affairs and hold office.
The Historian emphasizes unpublished, primary source material of Hardin County historical or genealogical content. Manuscripts submitted for publication are judged for factual accuracy, style, clarity of thought, sources used and for appeal to members. Full documentation should be submitted where possible. Neither the Hardin County Historical Society or the Historian Staff can assume responsibility for errors on the part of the contributors. Corrections when known will be printed in subsequent issues of the Historian.
