Institutions such as the Chicago Historical Society have had a dual mission to serve both history and memory—to preserve the
evidence of history and support research, and also to educate the public and help shape civic memory. Although Abraham Lincoln
was not a Chicago resident, the Historical Society has a significant collection of Lincoln-related papers and artifacts, and
has interpreted these materials in many displays since the 1870s.
