Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The contents of the Abraham Lincoln Historical Collection vary widely.  The collection contains a mixture of items related to the study of Abraham Lincoln’s life (including his youth, politics, the Civil War, and speeches) as well as pamphlets commemorating his life, information on memorials and tributes, an ephemera and artificial “Life in Pictures” section, materials elucidating the industry built around the collecting of Lincoln memorabilia, plus actual memorabilia and miscellaneous artifacts, including medallions and coins, pins, tiny log cabin sculpturettes, and other curiosities, such as a “Lincoln bow tie” allegedly worn the night Lincoln was assassinated at Ford’s Theatre, accompanied by both “authentication,” and in turn, “disproving” documentation.
