Summary
A plan outlining all of the building numbers and main entrances for the Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd factory at Coburg, circa 1960s, printed on an envelope and issued to Mr S Clement of the Camera, Reel and Sundries Department from the Kodak Personnel Department. Envelopes such as this were issued to employees to help them navigate the large complex.
Yvonne Cameron, the donor, 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.
