Paul B. Israel (Project Director: November 2022 to present)

Preparation for publication of volumes 10 and 11 of the selected papers of American inventor Thomas Edison (1847-1931). (36 months)

This grant will fund work on the book edition of the Thomas A. Edison Papers and the transition of that edition from chronological volumes covering 2-3 years to thematic volumes covering the last four decades of Edison's life. During the grant period we will also work on building out our digital image edition and replicating this edition on the Internet Archive as a second copy for preservation and long-term access.
