We construct Abel maps for a stable curve X. Namely, for each one-parameter deformation of X with regular total space, and every integer d>0, we construct by specialization a map αdX from the smooth locus of Xd to the moduli scheme of balanced line bundles on semistable curves over X. For d=1, we show that α1X naturally extends over X, and does not depend on the choice of the deformation; we give a precise description of when it is injective.
