Title: Eastman research materials
Creator: Eastman, George, 1854-1932
Call Number: D.139
Dates: 1854-2004
Physical Description: 8 boxes, 1 package
Language(s): Materials are in English
Repository: Rare Books, Special Collections, and Preservation, River Campus Libraries, University of Rochester
Scope and Content
This collection houses a variety of items directly related to George Eastman (1854-1932). There are several scrapbooks, the drafts and a final copy of The University of Rochester Library Bulletin issue from the Spring of 1971, devoted entirely to Eastman, taped oral histories, and an extensive newspaper and serial file that continues to be accumulated.
The scrapbooks contain newspaper obituary articles and other articles about George Eastman and about the Eastman Kodak Company. Two of the scrapbooks belonged to Katherine Waring (Mrs. George H.) Whipple. These scrapbooks chronicle the Whipples' friendship with George Eastman. Included with the Whipple scrapbooks is an explanatory key written by Mrs. Whipple and later published in the Fall 1965 Library Bulletin. The collection also contains a set of Mrs. Whipple's childhood reminiscences, Childhood in Charleston in the Not-So-Gay Nineties, published in 1960, and an addition to these memoirs.
Two boxes contain the drafts of articles and the final copy of the Spring 1971 Library Bulletin issue about Eastman. Contributors to this issue include Marion Folsom, Howard Hanson, Harold Gleason, and Marion Gleason, among others, as well as a recipe for Eastman's famous lemon pie filling.
The newspaper and serial clipping file includes a large number of 1954 articles commemorating the centennial anniversary of Eastman's birth. In addition, there are many other articles, some published while Eastman was still alive. This clipping file has been continually updated until the present, and as new clippings are acquired they are added to the clipping file.
There is a small collection of memorabilia, including the menu for a dinner given by Colonel and Mrs. Oscar Solbert aboard the U.S.S. Leviathan in 1928. The menu bears Eastman's signature. Another dinner menu, for the Society of the Genesee dinner given in honor of Eastman in 1931, is also included. There is also a collection of photographs that was assembled for the centennial celebrations in 1954.
