ABOUT 'THE BELL INSTITUTE'

The Alexander Graham Bell Institute is part of Cape Breton University, Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada. The Institute is dedicated to the memory of Alexander Graham Bell, his invention of the telephone, and his other work. It is directed by a Board of Trustees representing the Bell family, Cape Breton University, and members of the local community. It consolidates collections of photographs, personal notes, and technical work of Alexander Graham Bell, and has completed a comprehensive index of these materials. Numerous original documents and images can be downloaded free from the Institute's website.

Born in Edinburgh in 1847, Alexander Bell emigrated with his parents to Canada in 1870. After his invention of the telephone in 1875, Bell continued with many experiments in communication, including the invention of the photophone-transmission of sound on a beam of light - a precursor to current optical fiber systems. He also worked in medical research and invented methods for teaching speech to the deaf.

Bell's inventive genius was pervasive. His own home used a basic form of air conditioning, with fans blowing currents of air across large blocks of ice. He also anticipated current concerns with energy conservaton. He proposed that methane gas could be produced from the waste of farms and factories, and experimented with composting toilets. He also speculated on the possibility of using solar panels to heat houses.
