Toronto Camera Club Presidents: 1888 to Present
The use of photographic film was pioneered by George Eastman, who started manufacturing paper film in 1885 before switching to celluloid in 1889. His first camera, which he called the "Kodak," was first offered for sale in 1888 (Direct quote from Wikipedia).
The Toronto Camera Club has a rich history, which dates back to the first film camera. Here is a list of our past Presidents, and our current President.
