Federal Grant To Help Digitize The Lincoln Collection Housed In Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA

A $50,000 federal grant will help digitize manuscripts in the Lincoln Collection housed in Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA, at the Allen County Public Library.

Library genealogy manager Curt Witcher says the library board accepted the library services and technology grant Tuesday and is now awaiting the Indiana State Library’s final approval.

Only scholars and researchers can access the documents and texts. But library officials hope to provide digital copies of the texts on the library’s Web site and open the collection to teachers, students and the general public.
