ABOUT 'THOMAS EDISON PAPERS'
The
Thomas Edison Papers project
is one of the most ambitious editing projects undertaken by an American
university. The project, to edit and catalogue more than 5 million pages of
documents relating to the life of Thomas A. Edison, began in 1978. The project is carried out at Rutgers, the State University of New
Jersey, and is co-sponsored by the National Park Service, the New Jersey
Historical Commission, and the Smithsonian Institution.
The Digital program has produced to date 180,000
document images, and a searchable database of 121,000 documents and 19,250
names. Five hardbound books have been produced to date, out of a planned series
of fifteen. Each reproduces selected and annotated letters, drawings,
photographs, notebook entries, and legal and financial records. In microfilm,
four out of six parts have been produced, covering 230,000 document images on
227 microfilm reels. Eventually the full six parts will contain about 10% of the
5 million pages of Edison documents at the Edison National Historic Site.
The Thomas Edison Papers website contains a guide to the Papers, and also a
substantial biographical section. This includes an extensive illustrated Thomas
Edison
biography, a Thomas Edison bibliography, chronologies, and articles on Thomas Edison's
companies, inventions, and patents.
