Huntington Library Extensive & Extraordinarily Race Collection of Civil War Telegraph Messages
7 photos
Olga Tsapina, Norris Foundation Curator of American Historical Manuscripts at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens with the extensive and extraordinarily rare collection of Civil War telegraph messages, including a number of coded communiqués between Abraham Lincoln and officers of the Union Army. The collection is a near-complete archive of Thomas T. Eckert, the head of the military telegraph office of the War Department under Lincoln. The archive, which until recently was thought to have been destroyed, includes crucial correspondence that has never been published. “The Huntington is one of the premiere institutions for the study of the Civil War and is the repository of two of the so-called Big Five collections of Lincolniana, material by and about the 16th American president,” says David Zeidberg, the Avery Director of the Library. “The Eckert archive promises to add fresh insight into one of the most heavily mined scholarly subjects—the American Civil War.” (Photo by Walt Mancini)
