The site says these items are available for researchers "by appointment" Here is the site: http://www2.illinois.gov/alplm/library/c...fault.aspx

I wonder if anyone here has ever seen these? It sounds fascinating and I wish that I lived closer. Dave, it really sounds like something you would enjoy for posting over on boothiebarn.com

I believe that many (if not most) of the assassination relics came with the collection that ALPLM bought from Surratt Society member Louise Taper.
