Visionary Engineering: Harold "Doc" Edgerton

Noted inventor and beloved MIT professor Harold "Doc" Edgerton was a renaissance man without peer. The Edgerton Digital Collections (EDC) project brings together 22,000 still images of Doc, along with other scientific items and a range of short films. First-time visitors should click on Doc's Life to get a feel for this life well-lived through eight thematic areas. The Galleries are a wonderful find and contain some of his most iconic images, organized into themes such as Creatures, Humans, Bullets and Blasts, and Athletics. A collection of videos can also be viewed on the site. Fun finds include time lapse videos of the Boston skyline from the 1960s, cactus flowers, and crawling starfish.
