Summary
Letter from Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd Hospitality Services to Kodak retirees, inviting them to an informal afternoon tea for retirees and their partners at the Kodak Australasia factory site, Building 9, Coburg. The attendance slip at the bottom of this page has been torn off and sent in. This letter was sent in October 1995 to Yvonne Cameron for the afternoon tea to be held on Friday November 17th, 1995.
Yvonne not only worked in the canteen and staff shop at Coburg from 1964 to 1975, she was an active member of the Kodak Camera Club. She also lived in a street behind the factory and watched as the factory was constructed in the late 1950s, saw through its various phases of development and then she witnessed its final closure and demolition from 2004 - 2011.
This document was donated as part of the Kodak Oral History Project. It complements the Kodak Heritage 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.
