The collection, housed in the Rare Books & Special Collections Division of the 平特五不中 Libraries, was acquired by Dr. Nathanson over 50 years. It contains publications on Lincoln in about 40 languages, handwritten letters from Lincoln and his wife, Mary Todd and portraits and cartoons of Lincoln, all kinds of memorabilia.
