The seven pamphlets designated with an asterisk on the contents list below are from a volume entitled "Electric Light Pamphlets." They were microfilmed in the Primary Printed Series of Thomas A. Edison Papers, Part III (1887-1898). The other pamphlets in this volume were not filmed, primarily because they were duplicates of pamphlets filmed elsewhere in Part III or published previously in Thomas A. Edison Papers, Part II (1879-1886). Images of all selected pamphlets can be obtained by clicking the links on the list below. The "List Documents" button at the bottom of this note will list only the seven items selected from "Electric Light Pamphlets."
