This folder contains correspondence and other documents relating to Edison's awards and honors. Also included are offers of distinctions and awards, as well as invitations to ceremonies, that Edison declined because of his aversion to attending formal events. Similar material can be found in E-19-42 (Invitations). Among the items from 1919 two printed circulars in Swedish and English from the Nobel Prize Committee inviting Edison to nominate candidates for the annual Physics and Chemistry medals.
