Lincoln Archive [Subscription required for full access]

The Lincoln Archives Digital Project started in 2002 with a simple idea for a vast undertaking: to digitize all federal records that exist from the administration of Abraham Lincoln. Over 6,000 documents are currently online and over half a million documents are scanned and in the process of being placed online. The project is the first undertaking of its kind to digitize the entire holdings of the administration of any single U.S. President. Also, we are digitizing newspaper accounts, correspondence, photographs, and other documents of the period. To see all the documents, you need a subscription (currently $15 per month or $150 per year), but all users of the website—even those without a subscription—have free access to entry descriptions, the index of documents at the “box” level, a timeline of President Lincoln’s life, Civil War photographs, and so much more.
