Public Library
Provides Wider Access to Collection’s Treasures
Wikis: Inland Riverboats Photo Collection & Lincoln Letters Collection
The
Public Library of Cincinnati & Hamilton County’s collection includes
more than 10 million items – audiobooks, music CDs, DVDs, printed
publications such as books, magazines, and newspapers, and even digital
items like e-books and e-videos. With all of that material and a limited
amount of space, historical treasures like the Inland Riverboats
Photograph Collection and letters penned by President Abraham Lincoln
himself might have been overshadowed by the ever-changing and
ever-growing collection.
