Abstract
Ismael Gullon, the Associate Law Librarian for Collections & Technical Services at Mercer University’s Furman Smith Law Library and the former OBS-SIS Chair who spear-headed the Website of the Month project, suggested this month’s first site: The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln. According to the homepage, “In 1953, the Abraham Lincoln Association published The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln, a multi-volume set of Lincoln’s correspondence, speeches, and other writings. Roy P. Basler and his editorial staff, with the continued support of the association, spent five years transcribing and annotating Lincoln’s papers. The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln represented the first major scholarly effort to collect and publish the complete writings of Abraham Lincoln, and the edition has remained an invaluable resource to Lincoln scholars. Through the efforts of the Abraham Lincoln Association, the edition is now available in electronic form.” The site allows visitors to preform simple, boolean and proximity searches, as well as browse titles, browse through lists of all unique words in the text, and review the symbols used to describe sources as cited at the beginning of the first footnote to each item.
