ON OCTOBER 9TH, 2009, THE LEGENDARY EDISON LABS IN WEST ORANGE, NJ OPENED AFTER MORE THAN FIVE YEARS OF MAJOR RENOVATIONS. THESE BUILDINGS WERE IN CRITICAL NEED OF REPAIR, AND THE COLLECTIONS INCLUDING, NOTEBOOKS, EARLY PROTOTYPES, AND THOUSANDS OF EARLY RECORDINGS WERE IN DANGER OR BEING LOST DUE TO DETERIORATION. THE INITIAL FOCUS OF THIS CAMPAIGN WAS TO SUPPORT THE NEWLY RENAMED THOMAS EDISON NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK("TENHP') AND ASSOCIATED EDUCATIONAL AND RESEARCH EFFORTS IN GENERAL.
