The Kent History and Library Centre is a purpose-built headquarters in James Whatman Way, Maidstone, that opened on 23 April 2012.

[1] It has been designed to incorporate under one roof the former Centre for Kentish Studies (the combined county record office and local studies library) and the town's former Central Library.

[1][2] In August 2013 a sculpture by Antony Gormley entitled "Two Stones" was installed adjacent to the building.

[3] The sculpture had originally been commissioned by Kent County Council in the 1970s from Gormley, then a newly graduated art student of the Maidstone College of Art, for a new development in Ashford but had been removed following vandalism.
