This collection contains a variety of materials donated by Rebecca Veach that deal with Lincoln Sties project. Specifically this collection contains research, records, scripts, correspondences, and manuscripts from the New Salem historical site acquired by Veach during her time as the assistant to the Lincoln Sites Project.

Notable materials include several article manuscripts that were proposed as inclusions to a book about Lincoln, collections of research (both primary and secondary) about New Salem and Lincoln, correspondences between Veach and others concerning the material, and scripts of historical reenactments done at New Salem. Much of this material is composed of photocopies of journal articles, re-printed primary source documents, and newspapers.

It was and attempt to unify the historical perspectives presented at the Lincoln home, Old State Capitol, Lincoln's Tomb, Lincoln Law Office, Lincoln Depot and New Salem Park.
