Now Playing At A Computer Screen Near You: Edison's Early Motion Pictures

Long before the dawn of the blockbuster movie, before even the classic black and white films of the golden era of Hollywood, there were the early films produced by Thomas Edison's Laboratory in New Jersey between 1891-1922.

Now, thanks to the Library of Congress American Memory Collection you can watch all 341 of these so-called Edison Motion Pictures right on your computer screen!

The American Memory Collection lets you search the films three ways:

1. Chronologically
2. Alphabetically
3. By Genre

These represent some of the earliest motion pictures to appear anywhere. Enjoy your nostalgic journey!
