He did extensive research in electricity, in sound and in speech. He was a teacher and, perhaps above all, a great humanitarian. Born in Scotland in 1847, long-time resident of Canada, citizen of the United States of America, Alexander Graham Bell is a symbol of the internationality of his scien­ tific achievement. He came to Canada in his early years and later went to the United States to pursue his career as a teacher and scientist. It was not long before he returned to Canada. Amid the rugged beauty of Cape Breton, so reminiscent of his Scottish homeland, he built and developed the estate known as "Beinn Bhreagh" on a headland across the bay from Baddeck. Beinn Bhreagh became his second home, and here he built the famous laboratory and workshops which produced so many of the items now displayed in this museum. In the course of his work here he gathered about him a group of brilliant and energetic young men, keenly interested in the scien­ tific problems which Bell had set himself to solve.

I 1 INTRODUCTORY Vol. 1 Beinn Bhreagh, July 23, 1909: — Now that Mr. F.W. Baldwin and Mr. Douglas McCurdy (the consulting Engineers of Beinn Bhreagh Laboratory) are at Petewawa, and likely to be absent from Beinn Bhreagh for an indefinite period, I cannot obtain their assistance in Laboratory matters unless we have some form of Bulletin to keep them in touch with Laboratory work. At the same time, I am unwilling to fetter myself by undertaking regular issues of a Bulletin; and have therefore decided to start a record book which will be issued, a few pages at a time, as convenient to me: The book to be known as THE BEINN BHREAGH RECORDER. Vol. I will be commenced at once. As in the case of the Bulletins of the Aerial Experiment Association I propose to have seven typewritten copies made at once; and distributed as decided upon. There will be no regular issue of parts: Simply a few pages will be typewritten from time to time, the pages being numbered consecutively. These will be distributed to the heads of Departments upon Beinn Bhreagh Estate, including the Laboratory, and the Aerodrome Company. The pages as Beinn Bhreagh Recorder by Alexander Graham Bell, from July 24, 1909 to October 19, 1909 http://www.loc.gov/resource/ magbell.30700101 received, will be filed in a portfolio; and, when a sufficient number of pages have been collected, they will be bound up in a volume for permanent preservation.

  • Alexander Graham Bell
    Alicja Medyńska Alexander Graham Bell (1847–1922) zdobył sławę jako wynalazca telefonu, ale ma on na swoim koncie wiele innych wynalazków, jego nazwiskiem podpisanych jest co najmniej 30 patentów. Alexander Graham Bell urodził się 3 marca 1847 roku w Edynburgu - stolicy Szkocji. Był synem Alexandra Melville’a Bella i Elizy Grace. Miał dwóch braci, starszego, urodzonego w 1845 Melville’a Jamesa i rok młodszego Edwarda Charlesa. Do 10 roku życia Bell nosił jedynie jedno imię Alexander, jednak chciał podobnie jak jego bracia i ojciec mieć dwa imiona. W 11 urodziny ojciec zgodził się na dodanie drugiego imienia. Obaj jego bracia zmarli w młodym wieku (25 i 19 lat) na gruźlicę. Zarówno jego matka jak i później żona były głuche lub niedosłyszące, on sam zaś miał słuch absolutny i od małego pobierał lekcje gry na fortepianie.1 Rysunek 1 Alexander Graham Bell z ojcem (Alexander Melville Bell), matką (Eliza Grace Symonds) i z braćmi (Melville James i Edward Charles) 1852 rok Źródło: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Alexander_graham_bell_family.jpg 1 Mateusz Marszałek, 2009, Sylwetka Alexandra Grahama Bella, www.netbird.pl Ojciec i dziadek Alexandra byli nauczycielami dykcji i leczyli wady wymowy, zajmując się między innymi problemem jąkania. Jego ojciec rozwinął System pisania, nazwany przez niego „Widzialną mową”, oparty na znakach, które przekazywały, jak powinny układać się usta i język w celu uzyskania poszczególnych dźwięków. Ojciec Alexandra był pochłonięty swoją pracą, miał silną osobowość i nalegał, by jego synowie nauczyli się „Widzialnej Mowy” oraz brali udział w demonstrowaniu jej innym.2 W początkowym okresie życia Alexander uczony był w domu przez ojca, jednak szybko został zapisany do Royal High School , jednej z najstarszych szkół w Szkocji.

  • Alexander Graham Bell and the 1900 Census by Chris Martin, Historian, Public Information Office
    Alexander Graham Bell and the 1900 Census By Chris Martin, Historian, Public Information Office Although Alexander Graham Bell achieved worldwide fame as the first person to patent the telephone on March 7th, 1876, he was not content to merely be the person who revolutionized human communication. In addition to this groundbreaking legacy, Bell was also a teacher, a speech therapist, and a special agent of the U.S Census Bureau. One of Alexander Graham Bell’s other lifelong interests was helping the deaf and those with speech impediments. This interest came early as his mother, Eliza Grace Symonds, began losing her hearing at age 12 and was completely deaf by the time of Bell’s birth. As a result, Bell’s father, Alexander Melville Bell, a noted professor of elocution and speech, eventually devoted himself to the education of the deaf using a form of Visible Speech of his own devising. Bell himself became fascinated with the study of acoustics and how it could be used to aid communication with the hearing impaired. In 1871, the principal of the Boston School for Deaf Mutes (now Horace Mann School for the Deaf), invited the senior Bell to provide training to her instructors. He declined, instead recommending his son, who had long worked with him. This course was such a success that young Bell found himself repeating the course at various schools for the deaf across New England. In 1872, he returned to Boston to set up his “School of Vocal Physiology and Mechanics of Speech” and then taught at the Bell, on the top step, with teachers and students of Boston University School of Oratory.
