Remembering Lincoln at Gettysburg

This online exhibition was first published in 2013 by Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections. It accompanied and featured content from a physical exhibition of rare materials displayed in Cornell University’s Carl A. Kroch Library from October 24, 2013 to December 20, 2013. Cornell University Library archived the original version of the online exhibition in 2024 to preserve its earlier design. This version maintains access to the original images and text within an updated website.

In November 2013 Cornell University Library celebrates the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address with an exhibition about the events in Gettysburg. On display will be Cornell’s manuscript of the Gettysburg Address, one of only five copies in the handwriting of Lincoln, along with other Lincoln documents and Civil War era artifacts.
