I was online trying to find some "Glycin" for a developer I am trying, and ran across an ad on Amazon for Kodak Universal Developing powder in the original glass tube. I found some info in Kodak's 1917 magazine Kodakery. Here's the link to the Vintage magazine site. It is pretty amazing seeing all those old photos.

All employees got copies mailed to their homes every time it was published. It ceased publication recently but I've forgotten the timeframe.

That website was inspired by the original Kodak publication, but has NO connection to it.

pretty cool magazine. I saw the original on Google. It was a free download the whole thing from like 1917. I enjoyed seeing some old cameras and the story behind George Eastman. He was way ahead of his time. Those original box camera that they orginally produced had 100 pieces of film pre loaded into the locked camera. The original photos were actually round. they did that to help with problems of aiming the camera and it also was done to alleviate edge sharpness that was prevalent in those early glass lenses. Fascinating stuff for the photo nerd in me. Greg

A research only version was published starting in about 2000. My work on emulsions was featured in one issue. The series was for internal use only, unlike Kodakery which was accessible by anyone.

Besides practical and technical information, the Canadian version of the Kodakery ("Canadian Kodakery") also served as a sort of illustrated employee newsletter. Things like the results of the Kodak North Vancouver bowling league, with pictures of the winners.

If you look through some of them, you really get a feeling as to how much of a community was fostered among the employees (including supervisors and more senior managers) of Kodak Canada.

Kodak now got a podcast called Kodakery. As to be expected it is mainly about cine themes.
