| A $2.9-million grant from the Lilly Endowment enabled the Indiana Historical Society to supplement its Abra-ham Lincoln holdings through three significant purchases in 2003: the Jack Smith Lincoln Graphics Collection, the Daniel R. Weinberg Lincoln Conspirators Collection 1865–1977, and the Alexander Gardner Lincoln Glass Plate Negative (taken on November 8, 1863, eleven days prior to the Gettysburg Address). The acquisition added more than 1,100 prints, engravings, photographs, political cartoons, manuscripts, printed materials, and statues to the society's holdings. Harold Holzer's sumptuously illustrated catalog describes these combined collections. |
