Belknap Collection, Theatre 1816-1995 1825-1889 : Booth family.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/60636769

This collection centers on Junius Brutus Booth and his two most famous acting sons, Edwin Booth and John Wilkes Booth. Junius Brutus Booth, Jr. is also mentioned in connection with Booth's Theatre. Heralds for all three of these men occupy separate folders, as do photographs and drawings. Information about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln occupies a prominant position, as it often accompanies biographical material about J. Wilkes Booth (as he was known professionally).
