[Aerial view of Kodak Heights property], 1937 Gelatin silver print 20.3 x 25.4 cm Introduction Lodoe-Laura Haines-Wangda In 1899, the Rochester-based Eastman Kodak Company formally opened its first Canadian location on Colborne Street in Toronto. This movement northward to establish “Kodak Heights” allowed the corporation to extend its reach beyond its American borders, connecting the cities of Rochester and Toronto through photography, and establishing a new market of consumers for the Kodak brand. Kodak Canada: The Early Years (1899–1939) is an exhibition, publication, and digital project, created and organized by the 2019 cohort of Ryerson University’s Film + Photography Preservation and Collections Management program. Drawing from the Kodak Canada Corporate Archives and Heritage Collection at the University’s Archives and Special Collections, Kodak Canada examines the company’s earliest years in Canada and traces the global expansion of the Kodak empire into Canada in the early part of the twentieth century. Growth into Canada solidified Kodak as North America’s dominant man- ufacturer in photographic technology, a driving force behind visual culture in Canada, and a near century-long employer in Toronto’s Mount Dennis neighbourhood.

  • 582 King Street West
    REPORT FOR ACTION Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act - 582 King Street West Date: February 6, 2020 To: Toronto Preservation Board Toronto and East York Community Council From: Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, Urban Design, City Planning Wards: Ward 10 - Spadina - Fort York SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the listed heritage property that contains significant built heritage resources at 582 King Street West (including the entrance addresses at 590 and 592 King Street West and 471 and 473 Adelaide Street West), formerly known as the Canadian Kodak Building, under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The property at 582 King Street West extends from the north side of King Street West to the south side of Adelaide Street West in the block east of Portland Street. It is a building complex containing an original collection of two four-storey factory-type buildings at 582-592 King Street West and one four-storey factory-type building and two-storey wing at 473 Adelaide Street West - all constructed between 1902 and 1911 by the Canadian Kodak Company Ltd. A single-storey garage constructed c.1928-1931 was added by Ontario Silknit Ltd. The property was listed on the City's Heritage Register in 2005 and identified as contributing in the King-Spadina Heritage Conservation District, adopted by City Council in 2017 and currently under appeal. Following city staff's additional research and evaluation under Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, it has been determined that the property at 582 King Street West merits designation under Part IV Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its design, associative and contextual value.

HIS Ontario highway sign may keep you on the right track to your summer vacation spot, but it may also head you iri. the right Tdirection for a cash prize in Kodak's big Picture Contest. A snapshot like this - with a little h4man interest added - could be worth $5. Or if you want to try for $7, take a picture of someone photographing the scene. As explained in the last issue of the magazine, the contest is being held to build up a file of summer vacation and travel pictures with a typically Canadian flavor for publicity and advertising purposes. Because of this need, the Advertising Department is prepared to pay for all pictures judged acceptable. Opportunities are unlimited. At the present time, for example, good pictures are wanted of Niagara Falls, the Thousand Islands Bridge, Banff Springs Hotel, the Lion's Gate Bridge, the Canadian Rockies, and other similar Canadian beauty spots. Have you such a snapshot? Why not enter the contest immediately? Full information was published in the June issue of the magazine, and copies of the rules folder were distributed in July. If you want additional copies, they can be obtained from the Advertising Department. Remember, the contest is open to all Kodak people, and their families, until September 30, 1955. Enter as many pictures as you like, but do it right away. Yesterday's snapshot may mean money for you today.

  • KODAK MILESTONES 1879 - Eastman Invented an Emulsion-Coating Machine Which Enabled Him to Mass- Produce Photographic Dry Plates
    KODAK MILESTONES 1879 - Eastman invented an emulsion-coating machine which enabled him to mass- produce photographic dry plates. 1880 - Eastman began commercial production of dry plates in a rented loft of a building in Rochester, N.Y. 1881 - In January, Eastman and Henry A. Strong (a family friend and buggy-whip manufacturer) formed a partnership known as the Eastman Dry Plate Company. ♦ In September, Eastman quit his job as a bank clerk to devote his full time to the business. 1883 - The Eastman Dry Plate Company completed transfer of operations to a four- story building at what is now 343 State Street, Rochester, NY, the company's worldwide headquarters. 1884 - The business was changed from a partnership to a $200,000 corporation with 14 shareowners when the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company was formed. ♦ EASTMAN Negative Paper was introduced. ♦ Eastman and William H. Walker, an associate, invented a roll holder for negative papers. 1885 - EASTMAN American Film was introduced - the first transparent photographic "film" as we know it today. ♦ The company opened a wholesale office in London, England. 1886 - George Eastman became one of the first American industrialists to employ a full- time research scientist to aid in the commercialization of a flexible, transparent film base. 1888 - The name "Kodak" was born and the KODAK camera was placed on the market, with the slogan, "You press the button - we do the rest." This was the birth of snapshot photography, as millions of amateur picture-takers know it today. 1889 - The first commercial transparent roll film, perfected by Eastman and his research chemist, was put on the market.

  • The Essential Reference Guide for Filmmakers
    THE ESSENTIAL REFERENCE GUIDE FOR FILMMAKERS IDEAS AND TECHNOLOGY IDEAS AND TECHNOLOGY AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ESSENTIAL REFERENCE GUIDE FOR FILMMAKERS Good films—those that e1ectively communicate the desired message—are the result of an almost magical blend of ideas and technological ingredients. And with an understanding of the tools and techniques available to the filmmaker, you can truly realize your vision. The “idea” ingredient is well documented, for beginner and professional alike. Books covering virtually all aspects of the aesthetics and mechanics of filmmaking abound—how to choose an appropriate film style, the importance of sound, how to write an e1ective film script, the basic elements of visual continuity, etc. Although equally important, becoming fluent with the technological aspects of filmmaking can be intimidating. With that in mind, we have produced this book, The Essential Reference Guide for Filmmakers. In it you will find technical information—about light meters, cameras, light, film selection, postproduction, and workflows—in an easy-to-read- and-apply format. Ours is a business that’s more than 100 years old, and from the beginning, Kodak has recognized that cinema is a form of artistic expression. Today’s cinematographers have at their disposal a variety of tools to assist them in manipulating and fine-tuning their images. And with all the changes taking place in film, digital, and hybrid technologies, you are involved with the entertainment industry at one of its most dynamic times. As you enter the exciting world of cinematography, remember that Kodak is an absolute treasure trove of information, and we are here to assist you in your journey.
