Summary
Black and white photograph of Marie McKinley (later de Camara) and three other young, female Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd staff standing outside the Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd factory, Abbotsford circa 1946-1950.
Marie de Camara worked for Kodak for 35 years in total, commencing at Abbotsford, moving to Burnley after 5 years and then finishing up at Coburg for the final seven years of her employment. She spent the majority of her working life at Burnley in the Powder and Solution Department, but she is pictured here in the early days of her employment with some of her female co-workers.
This photograph 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.
