Scope and Contents

This series consist of Board of Directors meeting files. Included are meeting agendas, minutes, presentations on company progress, project updates, reports, financial earnings, and memos. The Board of Directors meetings occurred monthly, usually at Polaroid's Technology Square headquarters in Cambridge and occasionally offsite at Wellesley College, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and the Museum of Science, Boston.

Ms. Knowles files include "jak file" in the title. This series also includes one VHS tape related to project Helios and an audio recording related to the Polaroid Customer Care Center.
