Film and imaging company founded by George Eastman (1854–1932) in Rochester, New York. Eastman produced rollable film on transparent cellulose that made the camera an everyday family experience and fostered the growth of motion pictures and x-rays. The company which became Eastman Kodak in 1892, pioneered color film, safety film and a range of home products from Brownie cameras to smaller instamatics in the 1960s, as well as home movie cameras and slide projectors. In the 1990s, Kodak remained a global corporation with sales of $13.4 billion in 1998 (down $1 billion from 1997), facing competition from innovative film and camera technologies abroad and digital media, where it has struggled to stay abreast.
