National Inventors Hall of Fame
"From the inventor of the high-frequency alternator (Ernst Alexanderson) to the inventor of the cathode-ray tube (Vladimir Zworykin), this Web site lists all inductees into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in alphabetical order. Each inventor’s page lists major accomplishments and life highlights. Some pages include audio clips. An alphabetical index of inventions is also available. The Hall of Fame was established in 1973 by the National Council of Patent Law Associations, and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. New inductees are added each year at a celebration that corresponds with Thomas Edison’s birthday."

Library of Congress: Inventing Entertainment
"Because a collection as large as The Library of Congress can be daunting, their online curators created Learning Pages that offer ""tips and tricks, definitions and rationale for using primary sources, activities, discussions, lesson plans and suggestions for using the collections in classroom curriculum."" This Learning Page Collection Connection focuses on the early motion pictures and sound recordings of the Edison companies. My favorite clicks are the movie clips such as ""A Day with Thomas A. Edison"" and ""The Great Train Robbery."""
