<p>The progress of the Thomas A. Edison Papers depends on the support of many individuals and organizations, financial contributors, academic scholars, Edison specialists, librarians, archivists, curators, and students. Representatives of the four Overseeing Institutions (Rutgers, the National Park Service, the New Jersey Historical Commission, and the Smithson- ian Institution) have assisted with this volume and the editors thank them for their continuing concern and attention. The strong support of public and private foundations and of their program officers has sustained the project and helped it re- main editorially productive.</p>
