Polaroid Donates Corporate Archives to Harvard

Polaroid archives“Polaroid Corp. announced [November 7, 2006] the instant film and electronics manufacturer donated 1.5 million items of their corporate archives to the Harvard Business School Baker Library (HBS), according to an Oct. 24 Polaroid press release. The Polaroid collection is the single largest collection at the Harvard Business School Library. If all the shelves that house the Polaroid archives were placed next to each other, the collection would measure 4000 linear feet, equivalent to over 13 football fields.” MORE ➲

Edwin Land’s invention was a major breakthrough in photography, giving everyday folks the ability to see their photos almost immediately (and make discreet homemade pr0n).

About
dif4ent is an experiment. It's a collection of topical rotating wunderkammeresque distractions and delights. In other words, every month I'll choose four topics that I'd like to learn more about, or that I already find interesting and want to explore. Every weekday there will be a new post in each of the four topics. I decided to start it to give form and aim to my endless online wanderings. Plus I just like creating work for myself. So, I guess it's an online experiment in learning, linking, research and wasting time.
