  • Railroad Maps
    Map Library  ·   Digital Special Collections
    Description
    The construction of railroads shaped the United States in a way that no other nation has been shaped. Charters and land grants impacted the patterns and timing of settlement and farming by emigrants. The checkerboard pattern of railroad grant lands can still be seen on maps of areas in the United States West. The fortunes and destinies of towns and villages were determined by a railroad passing through or by-passing population clusters. Towns passed by often dried up or were moved to a more optimal railroad location. The transcontinental lines, once constructed and connected, tied the East to the West in a way that was faster than horse-drawn wagons and more direct than ships sailing around Cape Horn through the Straits of Magellan. Chicago was at the heart of the United States railroad network as a connection between the eastern United States, the Great Lakes, the Mississippi River, and the western lands beyond the Mississippi. Illinois was decidedly shaped by railroads converging on Chicago but also by deliberate construction paths such as the Y created by the Illinois Central Railroad (see illustration). Railroad maps served as trip-planning tools, company advertisements, and immigrant recruiters. This collection includes railroad maps of Illinois, the United States, and North America published during the 19th and 20th centuries. Railroad lines often appear on “general” maps, some of which can be found in the Historical Maps Online collection at (https://go.library.illinois.edu/HistoricalMapsOnline). Additionally, aerial photography, indexes which can be found in the Aerial Photograph Indexes digital collection (https://go.library.illinois.edu/AirPhotoIndexMaps), are an excellent way to examine railroad structures such as roundhouses and switching yards.

  • The Railsplitter (Digitized Content)
    Illinois History and Lincoln Collections  ·   Digital Special Collections
    Description
    The digitized content of the Railsplitter consists of thirteen facsimile issues of a 1950 facsimile edition of The Railsplitter, published by the Abraham Lincoln Book Shop. The Railsplitter was a weekly publication out of Cincinnati, Ohio, created to support Abraham Lincoln in his campaign for the 1860 presidential election. Self-described as a “Pictorial Paper, Devoted to Fact, Arguments, and Incidents which will be of great service to the Republican cause throughout the United States,” The Railsplitter platformed leading Republicans of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, New York, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, allowing them to voice their opinions on the political matters central to the 1860 presidential election. The digitized content contains thirteen facsimile issues of the Railsplitter, published by the Abraham Lincoln Book Shop. Frequently discussed topics within the publication include Abraham Lincoln, the 1860 election, slavery, secession, Stephen A. Douglas, politics, and the Republican Party. The 1950 facsimile edition of The Railsplitter was created after Chicago collector Foreman M. Lebold made his complete set available to Ralph G. Newman, a Lincoln scholar and owner of the Abraham Lincoln Book Shop. 150 facsimile sets of the publication were produced by the Abraham Lincoln Book Shop under Newman’s direction. The Illinois History and Lincoln Collections unit at the University of Illinois Library manages the physical facsimile copy of The Railsplitter, which was completely digitized in 2025.

    Description
    The RBML Historical Games collection provides an eclectic look into board and card games from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Primarily targeted towards high- and middle-class families, they were used as conversation pieces, friendly fun, and to instigate socially acceptable interactions between young men and women. However, these games were about much more than play. They instilled ideas about religion, morality, history, language and frequently underlined the proper ways to navigate and contribute to society. This collection features many games of chance, a nod to the structured but random happenings of life.
