Die Harris & Ewing, Inc. Sammlung fotografischer Negative umfasst Glas- und Filmnegative, die von Harris & Ewing, Inc., aufgenommen wurden und eine hervorragende Berichterstattung über Menschen, Ereignisse und Architektur in Washington zwischen 1905 und 1945 bieten. Harris & Ewing, Inc., übergab seine Negativsammlung 1955 der Bibliothek. Die Bibliothek behielt etwa 50.000 Nachrichtenfotos und 20.000 Studioporträts bedeutender Personen. Rund 28.000 Negative wurden bearbeitet und stehen online zur Verfügung. (Etwa 42.000 Negative müssen noch indexiert werden.)

An example of neoclassicism, it is in the form of a classical temple and is located at the western end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Henry Bacon is the memorial's architect and Daniel Chester French designed the large interior statue of a seated Abraham Lincoln (1920), which was carved in marble by the Piccirilli brothers. Jules Guerin painted the interior murals, and the epitaph above the statue was written by Royal Cortissoz. Dedicated on May 30, 1922, it is one of several memorials built to honor an American president. It has been a major tourist attraction since its opening, and over the years, has occasionally been used as a symbolic center focused on race relations and civil rights.
