As for the Lincoln Papers, I feel that a national foundation with no financial ties to Illinois should be formed (if it hasn't been already) to support this as an ongoing project -- seeking help from wealthy universities, local chapters of Lincoln Groups across the U.S., The Lincoln Forum, Gilder-Lehrman Institute, etc.

Hi and thank you! I agree so much with your idea about taking this project to another level. Their work has gotten VERY big I think, it is a breathtaking collection and I have done a lot of reading on the Legal Papers project which I think is just so professionally done.
This should be funded by way more sources that just the state!
