The Abraham Lincoln Association was organized in 1908 to spearhead the national celebration of Lincoln's one hundredth birthday. Today the Association continues this tradition by bringing in distinguished speakers to commemorate Lincoln's birthday, and presents an afternoon Symposium featuring leading Lincoln scholars. The Symposium is free and open to the public.
The Association publishes the Journal of the Abraham Lincoln Association, and For the People: A Newsletter of the Abraham Lincoln Association. Back issues of these publications are available here on the website free of charge.
The most famous work of the Association is the landmark, eight-volume set, The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln which is available to all, free of charge here on this website.
Please consider joining the oldest group dedicated to the study of Abraham Lincoln. Members receive advance invitations to events, and a subscription to the Association
publications.
The purpose of the Abraham Lincoln Association is "To observe each anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln; to preserve and make more readily accessible the landmarks associated with his life; and to actively encourage, promote and aid the collection and dissemination of authentic information regarding all phases of his life and career."
