Some Kodak facts....
George Eastman founded Kodak in 1888.
Kodak produced the first "consumer" cameras. They took 100 shots and then were mailed to Kodak for film processing. Kodak would reload the camera and send it, along with the prints, back to the consumer.
In 1936 Kodak put the first color 35mm film on the market. Kodachrome would be produced for 74 years, until 2009.
Kodak engineers produced the first digital camera in 1975.
In 2005 Kodak, a leading producer of silver halide papers (used in darkrooms and photo labs) discontinued production of their black and white photo papers.
Recent years have seen the company decline rapidly.
