Thomas Edison at The Library of Congress

Recently, I had the opportunity to meet Gail Petri, my friend, from The Library of Congress who did a wonderful presentation on primary and secondary resources for teachers. She presented a great model with ideas for the teachers in the audience (from Florida) and suggested that this type of resource could be done for any state or for a topic.

As I am doing my next Frazel Features for Tappedin on February 27 on Thomas Edison, I thought I would develop my search with his name as keyword.

I came up with this Today in History for February 14, which contains the Edison movie "The Kiss". For its time (1900), this movie must have been controversial but now it is a great example of early film that has endured.
