Summary

A promotional brochure produced circa 1960 by Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd, as part of the 'Make your family movie stars' campaign, promoting Kodak Brownie movie cameras and film. This brochure features coloured photographs and black and white illustrations to advertise the Brownie Movie Camera Model 2, Brownie Three-lens Turret, and the Brownie Automatic Movie Camera, as well as Kodachrome Movie Film and the Brownie Eight-58 Movie Projector.

This pamphlet would likely have been given to Kodak dealers and retailers, and there is a space on the back page for dealers to write or stamp their contact information to personalise the service.

Part of the Kodak collection of products, promotional materials, photographs and working life artefacts collected from Kodak Australasia in 2005, when the Melbourne manufacturing plant at Coburg closed down.

Kodak manufactured and distributed a wide range of photographic products to Australasia, such as film, paper, chemicals, cameras and miscellaneous equipment. Its client base included amateur and professional photographers, as well as specialist medical and graphic art professionals who used photography, x-ray and other imaging techniques.
