Summary

Black and white photograph of Marie McKinley (later de Camara) at left with her partner and another couple, ready for a Kodak function or ball, possibly at the Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd factory in Abbotsford or a Town Hall nearby, circa 1946-1950.

Marie worked for Kodak for 35 years in total, commencing at Abbotsford, moving to Burnley and then finishing up at Coburg. She spent the majority of her working life at Burnley in the Powder and Solution Department, but here she is pictured in the early days of her employment with colleagues.

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.

Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd 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.
