In this annual lecture on George Eastman’s life one hundred years ago, Legacy Collection Archivist Jesse Peers will explore what George Eastman and the Eastman Kodak Company were up to in 1920. In particular, Peers will highlight Eastman’s only trip to Asia and discuss the fulfillment Eastman felt in shaping a better city for his employees to live in. This talk coincides with the presentation of objects from Eastman’s life in 1920, on view through the end of the year in the Sitting Room.
