| Description | This site contains the full text of 57 sermons published on the occasion of Abraham Lincoln's assassination. The original copies of the sermons have been drawn from the Pitts Theology Library (Candler School of Theology, Emory University). Both TIFF images and searchable text files are available. This site is intended as a research tool for scholars and students interested in Lincoln and in the reaction to his death. These sermons derive from various geographical regions and represent a variety of theological and denominational perspectives. The intent of the digitization is to allow scholars and students access to material that is too fragile to be handled in its original form. OCR and SGML markup have been applied in order to create searchable files that will enable researchers to do textual comparisons of this body of literature that would be difficult to attempt using the original materials. The collection of sermons was digitized by the Emory University Libraries as a joint project of the Pitts Theology Library, the Beck Center for Electronic Collections and Services and the Preservation Office. |
