Edwin Land and Polaroid, the company he created in the 1930s, have spawned many bold scientific innovations over the years. Most of them led quickly to unique commercial products. Best known for revolutionary instant photography systems, Land and Polaroid also achieved miracles in light-polarizing technology that is embedded in many of today's consumer products. During World War II, Polaroid manufactured and created a large array of products for the U.S. military; later, Land's top-secret cold war initiatives led to crucial intelligence breakthroughs. Polaroid features images of signature innovations, scientists, and photographers who pioneered the use of Polaroid film.

Nasrin Rohani, Polaroid's consulting archivist, has been affiliated with the corporate archive since its creation in 1984. Boston-born Marie Cosindas was one of the first to test Edwin Land's instant-developing color film and went on to create hundreds of memorable images on Polaroid film.
