- The Thomas A. Edison Papers
The Thomas A. Edison Papers is a documentary editing
project sponsored by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey,
the National Park Service, the Smithsonian Institution, and the New
Jersey Historical Commission and supported by over 60 public and private
foundations, corporations, and individuals. The original goal of the project was to organize and publish
a select edition of the papers of Thomas Alva Edison in two forms—a six-part microfilm publication and a book edition
of fifteen to twenty volumes. To date we have published 227 reels (four parts) of microfilm,
comprising one-third of a million pages and covering Edison's life from 1847 to 1910; four volumes
that detail the first 32 years of Edison's life; and a six-reel collection of film and equipment catalogs from
the earliest years of motion pictures. For the present this site will make available a searchable document database
linked to document images for Parts I–III (1847–1898) and some of the editorial materials from
the image and text publications, with continual additions. In its final form the full digital edition
will include the text of the print volumes.

The Haymarket Tragedy
"Welcome to The Dramas of Haymarket, an online project
produced by the Chicago Historical Society and Northwestern University.
The Dramas of Haymarket examines selected materials from the Chicago
Historical Society's soon-to-be-completed Haymarket Affair Digital
Collection, an electronic archive of CHS's extraordinary Haymarket
holdings. The Dramas of Haymarket interprets these materials and
places them in historical context, drawing on many other items from
the Historical Society's extensive resources."
