Where the material on this site comes from, and where to go deeper.
The Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade holds his ashes and roughly 160,000 documents. The Tesla Science Center preserves the Wardenclyffe site. The Library of Congress, the Smithsonian and the USPTO hold period photographs, newspapers and the original patents.
My Inventions (1919), the Colorado Springs Notes 1899–1900, and his published 1892 lecture on high-potential, high-frequency currents.
W. Bernard Carlson’s Tesla: Inventor of the Electrical Age (Princeton, 2013) is the standard scholarly biography; Jill Jonnes’s Empires of Light covers the war of currents; the IEEE’s Engineering and Technology History Wiki is strong on the technical record.
