Lincoln/Net: Abraham Lincoln Historical Digitization Project <http://lincoln.lib.niu.edu/>. Created and maintained by the Abraham Lincoln Historical Digitization Project, Northern Illinois University. Reviewed Sept. 12-19, 2002.

The Abraham Lincoln Historical Digitization Project has in many ways created a model historical Web site with its comprehensive and easily navigated Lincoln/Net. The site is dedicated to illuminating Lincoln's life before he became the sixteenth president of the United States. While Lincoln is the primary focus of the site, Lincoln/Net also includes a wealth of information about Illinois's early statehood. This broader context is one of the site's great strengths, for it allows users to move beyond biography and see Lincoln as a product of his age and environment. His contemporaries, according to the site, described him as having lived a "representative life," and Lincoln/Net tries to explore that everyman image in as much detail as possible. The richness of its content makes this site a valuable resource for students of Lincoln himself and antebellum America more generally.
