Description: Over 22,000 still images of Harold Doc Edgerton materials, 150 restored and digitized films and video, access to approximately 8,000 digitized pages from Doc Edgerton''s hand-written laboratory notebooks, and hundreds of high-speed photographic images constituting the material record of an extraordinary man, great pioneer, inventor, professor emeritus at MIT, who shaped public perception about science and technology. The collections include a social dimension, including you, and the committed community of MIT alumni, faculty, students, staff, and aficionados who share Doc Edgerton''s philosophy of Work hard. Tell everyone everything you know. Close a deal with a handshake. Have fun! The Edgerton Digital Collections (EDC) project is an ambitious and collaborative publishing venture, documenting the history of science and technology. This project celebrates the spirit of a great pioneer and provides the first online access to Harold Edgerton''s research notebooks held by MIT, constituting the material record of an extraordinary man. The collection is a work in progress. Since this project began, we have inventoried, analyzed, cleaned, repaired, cataloged, photographed, titled, annotated, sorted, and organized tens of thousands of Edgerton artifacts, and enabled the public viewing of Doc''s research notebooks, still and moving images.
