- This 320-page monograph resulted from a decade of research, supported by grants from the AHRC and the Leverhulme Trust. It draws on a wide range of primary sources from the Polaroid Collection in Waltham, Mass., the National Media Museum Kodak archive and the Polaroid Corporation archive at the Baker Library in Harvard, which Buse was the first researcher to gain access to. The book is an in-depth exploration of the changing uses and meanings of Polaroid photography in the wake of two Polaroid Corporation bankruptcies. It challenges existing understandings of vernacular photography and Polaroid’s place within them.
