Item description from seller

A lifelong collection of the photographs and related professional materials of Grant Haist, senior research associate at the Eastman Kodak Company and author of two important technical manuals on photographic processing. A lifelong ‘Kodak man' until his retirement in 1983, Haist was an internationally recognized technical expert and an award-winning photographer known for his western landscapes and nature prints, and scenes of everyday American life. His photographic work appeared in *National Geographic*, *National Wildlife*, *Smithsonian*, and Kodak publications. Fellowships from the Royal Society of Great Britain, the Photographic Society of America, and the Society for Imaging Science and Technology honored his accomplishments. The collection consists of well over 10,000 (8" x 10") gelatin silver prints, and 100 mounted enlargements, together with Haist's (4" x 5") sheet film negatives; over 600 glass plate negatives; over 700 large and medium format color sheet film transparencies; about 400 (70mm) glass mounted slides; and several thousand 35mm color slides in metal and cardboard mounts. Also included are 11 volumes of Haist's manuscript laboratory journals, together with six additional volumes of manuscript laboratory journals kept by three of his colleagues at Kodak; an early Kodaslide projector together with another projector custom-made by Haist. There are also over 50 medals awarded to Haist by various international salons and camera clubs, including four Graflex awards (Haist favored the 4" x 5" Graflex camera), and six medals from the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge: "for outstanding achievement in bringing about a better understanding of the American way of life." Haist was born in Caro, Michigan in 1922, and graduated from Michigan State University with a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry in 1949. Included in the collection are about 350 personal letters written by him and his future wife Phyllis Keeney, most of which date from when he was in training to become an officer at three U.S. military training camps during the Second World War. In several letters he discusses his interest in photography and his early picture taking. After the war and his graduation from Michigan State, he married Keeney and moved to Rochester, New York, where he worked at the Eastman Kodak Research Laboratories for 32 years, retiring in 1983. He remained active in photography, traveling the world, living in Florida, Arizona, and Michigan. He died in Naples, Florida, in 2015. Over the course of his career Haist held 28 U.S. patents for inventions and innovations made by him at Kodak. He authored many technical articles and published the classic two-volume manual: *Modern Photographic Processing* in 1979. He is known in the field as "the man who modernized the process to develop photos," and for opening the door to the digital age of photography. He also amassed an extensive collection of Kodak cameras and published a history of *George Eastman's Cameras* in 2011. The Eastman Kodak Working Journals: Haist's 12-volume set of research laboratory journals (lacking one volume, no. 11), document his series of laboratory experiments on the processing of Reversal F emulsions "in an attempt to find a non-toxic substitute for phenyl hydrazine in the developer," commencing in August, 1949 and concluding in July, 1954. Uniformly bound small quartos, the journals contain his research notes, observations, and conclusions written in manuscript on the rectos and versos. Interspersed throughout the text are charts, tables, and figures (mostly of chemical compounds). Laid-in or stapled-in throughout all 11 volumes are manuscript sheets (several folded) of additional notes, tables, charts, together with paper emulsion testing strips, and "Monthly Reports." Among the research journals of Haist's colleagues, are four manuscript note book journals by James R. King that document King's processing and dark room experiments (with folded charts tipped-in and add.
