FOR MORE than a decade, the staff at the Papers of Abraham Lincoln Project
has sifted through 550 repositories and private collections in 47 states,
attempting to locate every document written by or to the nation's 16th
president. When a researcher finds a relevant document, he or she scans,
transcribes, annotates and formats it for publication on the Internet...

...Finishing the project would help more than biographers. The project's
goal is to democratize the historian's search and to make the record
accessible to anyone with an Internet connection. For more than a century,
public and private funds have preserved in archives the documents
researchers are locating; it would be a shame if the papers project is
unable to raise the resources to make them accessible in a way never before
possible.
