   Thomas A. Edison Papers
http://edison.rutgers.edu/

A collaborative project between Rutgers University, the Smithsonian,
and numerous other partners, the Thomas A. Edison Papers Project is
an ongoing effort to organize and publish a select edition of the
papers from the great inventor. The editors have recently announced
that documents from Parts I-III (1850-1898) of the papers have now
been placed online as a searchable collection of digitized images.
Users can look for documents using a detailed search engine
(instructions are supplied, and users are recommended to read them
first). Options include searching by name, date, and document type;
or performing a keyword search of folders and volumes. Documents are
displayed in a cramped frame, but users can open this frame in a new
browser window for full-screen reading. This is only the first
installment, and the full digital edition will include the complete
text of all of the print volumes. The site also offers a number of
other Edison resources, including an annotated list of Edison's
companies, chronologies, bibliographies, motion picture catalogs, and
related links, among other resources.
