Founded more than four score and seven years ago (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 Lincoln head is from a print of an unfinished etching made by the nineteenth century engraver, John Chester Buttre. It became the logo of our Group at the suggestion of a charter member, Miss Esther C. Cushman, then the Custodian of the McLellan Lincoln Collection at Brown University. This same Lincoln likeness has appeared on our Group Histories and Membership Directories and is used as the letterhead of our stationary.
Becoming a member of The Lincoln Group of Boston offers access to exclusive events and networking opportunities. We provide a supportive environment for personal and professional growth.
The Lincoln Group of Boston meets several times a year. Our luncheon gatherings are informal and allow our members, whether old friends or recent acquaintances, to discuss research and scholarship in the Lincoln field.
The Lincoln Group of Boston enjoys friendships with similar organizations throughout the country; supports the major publications in Lincoln and the Civil War history; and maintains connections with several academic and private repositories caring for major Lincoln Collections.
