 A major exhibit about the formative years of Polaroid Corporation, drawn from the extensive Polaroid Archives donated to Baker Library in 2006, includes a tribute to the revolutionary Polaroid Land Camera that brought "instant photography" to the masses when it went on sale Friday, Nov. 26, 1948 in Boston.
