The Kentuckiana Blues Society (KBS), founded in 1988 and based in Louisville, Kentucky is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the preservation, promotion, and perpetuation of the blues tradition in all of its forms. The KBS is an affiliate member of the Blues Foundation. The Blues Foundation is a non-profit corporation headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. The Foundation consists of more than 160 affiliated blues organizations and societies around the world and serves as the hub for the worldwide passion for blues music. ==Preservation== Through extensive research and documentation, the KBS has made major inroads into the documentation of the blues tradition in Louisville, Kentucky. This research has led to the discovery of many rare photos, interviews, and the location of many early blues related sites. An archive has been established by the KBS to centrally locate all of these materials and make them available to members. They have also located the grave sites of blues greats Sylvester Weaver and "Little" Bill Gaither and arranged for the placement of headstones to preserve their memory. One of their most recent projects was the placement of a headstone for Louisville bluesman Foree Wells and his wife Lorene at Calvary Cemetery. Foree was a founding member of the KBS and of the Walnut Street Blues Band. He died in January 1997. In January 2007 his long awaited album ''It's A New Day Brother!'' was finally released on Stackhouse Records with assistance and financial support of the KBS.
