The paper gives 3 integral representations for the Stirling numbers of the first kind. One of the consequences is the non-negativity of an \(m\times m\) determinant that involves Stirling numbers of the first kind. It is also shown that for every fixed \(k\), the sequence \(s(n+k,k){\binom{n+k}{k}}^{-1}\) is logconvex.
