Arts, Briefly: Lincoln Trove to Move

One of the largest museums dedicated to Abraham Lincoln is closing its doors on Monday and giving away its $20 million collection, The Civil War News reported. The Lincoln Museum collection in Fort Wayne, Ind., includes more than 18,000 books and pamphlets; 7,000 prints; 5,000 photographs; 350 documents signed by Lincoln, including one of 13 copies of the 13th Amendment he signed; and thousands of newspaper clippings and Lincoln-related items. The Lincoln Financial Foundation, which runs the museums, intends to donate the collection “to one or more of the nation’s major nonprofit institutions specializing in Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War,” and to digitize documents to make them more accessible for next year’s Lincoln Bicentennial, a spokesman said. The Library of Congress, the National Museum of American History, Ford’s Theater and President Lincoln’s Cottage have formed a partnership to try to buy the collection, The Washington Post reported.
