Paul B. Israel, Director
The Thomas A. Edison
Papers, a research center at Rutgers University-New Brunswick, is dedicated to a wider
understanding of the legacy of America's most prolific inventor and
innovator. This is accomplished through books, articles, media
appearances, internet services, community outreach, educational collaborations,
and partnering with The Edison Awards. Especially significant are the
selected publications in books and online of the notebooks, correspondence,
patent materials, and business and legal records of Edison, his associates, and
his companies. The Edison Papers is cosponsored by Rutgers, The State
University of New Jersey, the National Park Service, the New Jersey Historical
Commission, and the Smithsonian Institution. The Edison Papers has five
full-time faculty members who do research on Edison and also a broad range of
historical issues from the 19th and 20th centuries. Graduate and
undergraduate students also assist with the center's work.
