Custodial history
Scope and content
Series consists of 205 instant cameras.
Polaroid cameras were invented in 1948 by Edwin Land, in response to a question by his daughter about why she could not see the picture he had just taken of her. The Kodak company later tried to invent their own version of the instant camera, resulting in a product with several differences from the Polaroid version. However, this was found to be too similar and Koday guilty of patent infringement, leading to the end of production of their instant cameras and the film for them.
