Good afternoon, This announcement is being sent to a number of lists. Please accept our apologies for any duplicate postings. Through the generous support of the AT&T Foundation, the second release of digital images of the Alexander Graham Bell Family Papers from the holdings of the Manuscript Division at the Library of Congress is now available at the following url: <http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/bellhtml/>. This online collection will ultimately represent a portion selected from the original Bell Papers and comprise approximately 4700 items, totaling about 38,000 images. The second release contains over 4500 items consisting of correspondence, scientific notebooks, journals, blueprints, sketches, and photographs documenting Bell's invention of the telephone and his involvement in the first telephone company, his family life, his interest in the education of the deaf, and his aeronautical and other scientific research. Included among Bell's papers are his first sketch of the telephone and pages from an experimental notebook, dated March 10, 1876, that describe the first successful experiment with the telephone, during which he spoke through the instrument to his assistant, Thomas Watson, the famous words, "Mr. Watson-- Come here -- I want to see you." Also included in this update are Bell’s notes and photographs of his aeronautical work and correspondence from such noted individuals as Helen Keller, Marie Curie, Edward Gallaudet, Joseph Henry, William James, and Guglielmo Marconi.
