February 20, 2008: University of Rochester to Digitize Abraham Lincoln Items
"The University of Rochester will soon share original papers from the pen of Abraham Lincoln online, through an innovative program that puts students in touch—literally—with history. "
"Through the program, letters and other Lincoln documents will be scanned and posted online with typed transcriptions for easier reading. For some documents, graduate students will write contextual essays and lesson plans for teachers to facilitate the use of the documents as learning tools in their classrooms. "
