Personal Libraries I have found

I have found the personal Libraries of

*Henry D. Thoreau
*Abraham Lincoln
*Sir Thomas Browne

I Will start Making their profiles and logging the books they owned. If you are interested in helping please let me know!

Please note - if your sources are copyrighted (as Thoreau and Lincoln are) we need to secure permission from the copyright holder first before using info they've published (often this is why we haven't added some of these libraries previously). Browne may be too, depending on the source.

Don't mean to rain on your excitement but we do have to be sure to not tread on copyrighted toes ...

I am working on getting a few available and open sources ready to go so that folks can work on them ...

While I'm working on setting up new ones, there are some open projects that could be worked on, too:
