Artifacts and Open Storage (218)
Transcript
NARRATOR—After 1912, this end of the floor housed Edison’s new Educational Film Department, and later, office space for the Engineering Department. Today it’s an open storage space for artifacts from the collection of Edison National Historic Site.
Take a look around. Think of this as a visit to the attic of Edison’s laboratory, filled with glimpses of the past. The objects on view, some of our 400,000 artifacts, represent the largest single body of Edison-related material anywhere. The collections of Edison National Historic Site preserve the product of Thomas Edison’s career as an inventor, manufacturer, and businessman. They include Edison manufactured goods, lab furnishings, and equipment related to experiments in electrical power and lighting, motion pictures, storage batteries, cement making, ore milling, and synthetic rubber.
Feel free to browse as long as you like and listen to in-depth messages about the treasures in this room.
