What is to be preserved about an office? It's neat they have a piece of furniture from
Lincoln's office, but mainly what is preserved appears to be papers, i.e. it is an archive, and it is not much of a museum to visit. Scholars might possibly visit an archive, but I think in general we don't cover named archives in separate articles. It is more proper to mention them in articles about libraries or colleges. Here, the college article section is available and is not too long. The photo in the article is interesting and could be merged to the college article. Otherwise perhaps the libraries and archives of the college could be split out to a separate article if coverage got to be too long, but I think the length of the current article is excessive and should be pared back in a merge. However, a merge leaving redirect behind does preserve the information for potential future use in a libraries article. --

did come to the dedication of the museum, which is something but there's not enough other content available IMO. The article's first sentence asserts it "is one of many congressional office museums in the United States", but I am not aware of any other and I don't find any other in quick searching.

where it is mentioned along with an archive funded by the same donor. I came back to see about developing about the museum aspect of the article, to add museum categories and WikiProject
Museums and so on, but there is not much to work with in the linked sources, so I change my mind from Keep vote

to the
Illinois College article per Doncram. There is not enough independent coverage to establish notability. Much of the article is bloated promotional info. Appropriate material can be used to expand the section in Illinois College.

This was created about six months back and despite efforts made by editors to improve it, it still reads as an advertisement piece and has a major lack of sources. Listing here for community input on whether or not it should be axed.
