The original museum exhibit (1979) featuring only
Edison's activities was curated by Bernard Finn with assistance from
Robert Friedel and Cathy Zusy. The designer was David Ellis, editing
was by Michael Fruitman, production was by the Museum's Exhibits staff.
Funding came from a major grant from the International Committee for the Centennial of Light of the Thomas A. Edison Foundation and General Electric's Lighting Business Group.
The additions and revisions (2000) were inspired by the vision of Dr. Lee R. Anderson (1936-1998), lighting program manager at the United States Department of Energy.
The 2000 modification (including an exhibition brochure)
was curated by Bernard Finn with assistance from Harold Wallace. The
designers were David Ellis, Marcia Powell, Constantine Raitzky, and
Russell Cashdollar. Editing was done by Nancy Growald Brooks. The
interactive exhibits were designed by Thomas M. O'Brien, project managers
were Andrew Heymann and Patrick Ladden and production was by Creative
Design Group. The web site was designed and produced by Harold Wallace.
Funding came from a major grant from the United States Department of Energy, with additional grants from The Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention, from a fund in memory of Carl Weller, and from Eveready Battery Co. Inc.
