Lincoln North

Lincoln in chairLincoln North is the virtual home to one of the most unusual research collections housed in Rare Books and Special Collections, McGill University. In 1986, Dr. Joseph N. Nathanson (1895-1989) donated to his alma mater the contents of his Abraham Lincoln collection. The collection is comprised of approximately four thousand items including books, pamphlets, prints, manuscripts, ephemera and realia. The website was launched on this day in 2002 to coincide with Lincoln’s birthday (February 12, 1809).
