This year the Edison Tech Center is working on several projects including restoring 501(c)3 status and finding a new physical home in Schenectady. In the last few years Edison moved from an old building on Broadway in downtown Schenectady to a temporary location at the Gazette Building on Maxon Road. Artifacts were stored efficiently and visits were by appointment only. We hope to once again open up our incredible collection to the public in a new building. Our collection consists of all types of electrical and mechanical devices, often showing a gradual progression of technologies. To execute our vision we are using 2025 as a reorganization year where leadership will create a plan with priorities for the team to execute.

The digital education program online has never stopped operating and continues to reach many thousands of people each month. We have reorganized our digital media library so that we are set to make new video releases on a regular basis. Our unique media archives feature interviews with engineers who contributed to our technological world. Through oral history and edited documentaries this material reaches people who have an interest in tinkering, engineering and general history. We’d like to thank the “Hall of Electrical History” or GE Hall of History for working with us over the years on documentaries.
