In 2017, nearly eight hundred issues of The Lincoln Herald from 1873-1882, 1884, 1889, 1894, 1895, were found in the attic of a building that was once their jewelry store. The Shew family was gracious enough to donate the papers to LCGHS. That started a five-year journey to humidify, sanitize, flatten, clean, digitize & index the papers. This project will be completed by the fifth anniversary of the donation in November 2022. Many of the stories found in the Society’s quarterly, Roots & Branches, are coming from this collection. The most recent being the series of articles telling the story of the history & development of the Union Cemetery at Lincoln, IL ... in the Spring Issue of 2022.
