Lincoln Group of Boston Collection Administrative History

The Lincoln Group of Boston was founded in 1938, with the stated purpose:

To interchange ideas about Abraham Lincoln, to promote the study of his life and times, to assist in the investigation of his career, and to distribute authentic information about his work and character.

The first meeting was held on February 12, 1938, and included 19 Lincolnians. The first president of the group was F. Lauriston Bullard. The group has continued to meet 2-4 times a year ever since, with each meeting consisting of presentations relating to Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War by both members and guest lecturers. Some of the prominent speakers have included James G. Randall in 1939, Carl Sandburg in 1940, Louis A. Warren in 1955, R. Gerald McMurtry in 1963, James M. McPherson in 1989, and too many others to list here.

The group still meets regularly, including an annual meeting at Bridgewater State University. Members continue the tradition of adding research and publications to the historical canon of Abraham Lincoln scholarship.

Scope and Content Note

The Lincoln Group of Boston Collection was originally housed at Boston University before being transferred to Bridgewater State College in 1980. Additions to the collection have been ongoing ever since. BSU contains sub-collections of individual members of the Lincoln Group of Boston that fall under the umbrella of the Lincoln Group of Boston as a whole. The Maxwell Library contains a separate Lincoln Collection that began in 1975 with the large donation of Lincoln related material by Arthur Lloyd Hayden. Lincoln Group members have been donating material ever since. This collection consists of publications, ephemera, artifacts, and framed art and lithographs pertaining to both Lincoln and the Civil War.

Series 5, Papers and Presentations, does not contain folder numbers due to the continual addition of papers as they are found in the collection or donated to the collection. Many additional papers can be found in specific collections of individual members of the Lincoln Group of Boston.

Related collections include the Arthur Lloyd Hayden Papers; the Judge Elwin L. Page Papers; the Rev. Joseph L. McCorison Papers; the Richard F. Lufkin Collection; the Kenneth A. Bernard Papers; and the Maxwell Library Lincoln Collection.
