RIT Experts Discuss Kodak’s Bankruptcy Filing

The historical and photographic perspective

Therese Mulligan, professor and administrative chair of RIT’s School of Photographic Arts and Sciences in the College of Imaging Arts and Sciences:

• Eastman Kodak’s bankruptcy filing marks the end of one era in the larger-than-life legacy of a photographic industry giant, and the beginning of another. For much of its history, the company has been a sustaining force in Rochester, especially in its support of educational institutions, such as George Eastman House, International Museum of Photography and Film, and Rochester Institute of Technology and its School of Photographic Arts and Sciences.
