In Rochester, N.Y., the home built by the late George Eastman of the Eastman Kodak Company has been transformed into a public educational institute of photography with facilities for exhibitions, demonstrations, lectures, and the showing of motion pictures. Ceremonies attending the formal opening of the George Eastman House, as it is to be known, were held in Rochester November 9. The permanent collection of the institute covers the entire history of the photographic field as seen in equipment, photographs, and literature. A separate Hall of Contemporary Photography (housed in what formerly was the Eastman garage) contains exhibits pertaining to photography in science and industry, including sections dealing with nuclear physics, astronomy, x‐ray and electron diffraction, and spectroscopy.
