The Thomas A. Edison Papers
http://edison.rutgers.edu/
The original goal of the project was to organize and publish
a select edition of the papers of Thomas Alva Edison in two
forms-a six-part microfilm publication and a book edition
of fifteen to twenty volumes. To date we have published 227
reels (four parts) of microfilm, comprising one-third of a
million pages and covering Edison's life from 1847 to 1910;
four volumes that detail the first 32 years of Edison's life;
and a six-reel collection of film and equipment catalogs from
the earliest years of motion pictures. For the present this
site will make available a searchable document database linked
to document images for Parts I-III (1847-1898) and some of
the editorial materials from the image and text publications,
with continual additions. In its final form the full digital
edition will include the text of the print volumes. |
