Winter Lecture Series
Saturday April 13 – Abraham Lincoln in the Archives: “New” Sources, New Questions
Michelle Krowl, Library of Congress
In 1936, historian James G. Randall posed the question, “Has the Lincoln theme been exhausted?” Scholarship over the subsequent fourscore and seven years have answered the question with a resounding “no,” and interest in Abraham Lincoln continues to be robust. Michelle A. Krowl, curator of the Abraham Lincoln Papers at the Library of Congress, will discuss how newly available primary source materials and the proliferation of digital tools now allow different questions to be asked, and answered about the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln, and the world in which he lived.
Seating is available on a first come – first serve basis. Free tickets will be available the day of the program at the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center. Schedule is subject to change.
All programs will be recorded by our friends at Addressing Gettysburg and will be posted to their YouTube Channel at youtube.com/@addressinggettysburg. No live stream will be available.
