Lincoln/Net is a digital history project created by the Abraham Lincoln Historical Digitization Project, based at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois. It provides access to primary documents relating to Lincoln’s time in Illinois (1830-1861) as well as documents from the early years of Illinois’ statehood. The historical materials include books, manuscripts, images, speeches, writings, and other types of documents.

The archive materials can be accessed in a variety of ways. They are searchable using the site's built in search tool or you can browse by type of document. They have also been arranged thematically by the project staff as an alternative method of exploration. The themes included are: frontier settlement; Native American relations; economic development; women's experience and gender roles; African-Americans' experience and American racial attitudes; law and society; religion and culture; and political development.
