The importance of periodicals for Tesla’s work

Press clipping material in the Nikola Tesla Museum

Summary/Abstract: The Nikola Tesla Museum is the first Yugoslav and Serbian memorial technical museum, and it keeps the memory of Nikola Tesla in a special way. Press clipping albums with clips and articles from periodicals represent separate units telling us more about the means and methodologies that Tesla used to gather and sort the information he needed for work. Consistent system of bibliographic classification that he applied is noticeable in the albums. Articles are organized thematically and chronologically. For almost every article the source from which the article was taken is indicated. The material is further classified into two sections within the thematic groups ‒ personal and non-personal. The importance that Tesla gave to these albums is also confirmed by the existence of a catalogue with the list of articles in the albums. Tesla's interest in periodical publications is also illustrated by his preserved correspondence with reporters and editors.
