The current whereabouts of the actual copy of Lincoln's Gettysburg address? Does a copy exist?

Question

I know there were several copies which included revisions made by Lincoln himself. The final version is engraved at the Lincoln Memorial. but I mean paper copies.

Answer 1

They are kept at the library of Congress. God Bless You and Our Southern People.

Answer 2

Try at the National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg, PA, 1 Lincoln Circle, Resevoir Park. They have a lot of artifacts from the Civil War. They have George Pickett's hat he wore at Gettysburg, an original full size Gatling Gun, several old rifles and sabers, General Lee's own personal Bible and hat cord, a lock of John B. Gordon's hair, as well as a lock of Pickett's hair. They even have the coat sleeve Mary Todd Lincoln wore the night President Lincoln was killed at Ford's Theatre. Yeah, the National Civil War Museum would be a great place to check. Also try the National Archives in Washington D.C. .

Answer 3

Of course there are millions of paper copies, there were 5 manuscript copies (hand written copies) made. Two are at the Library of Congress, and Lincoln gave 1 copy to each of his secretaries. There is debate about which version he actually read, but it is believed to be the Nicolay version and that is the one on display. Nicolay was one of Lincoln's secretaries.
