About Vivian Walworth: "When Dr. Edwin Land introduced Polaroid one-step photography in 1947, Polaroid was relying on negative produced by Kodak and DuPont. The Vectograph group, including Vivian, undertook fabrication of Polaroid photographic emulsions. Throughout that time, Polaroid was "a very exciting place to be," said Vivian. For several years she served as Manager of both the Emulsion Research Laboratory and the Research Microscopy Laboratory. When she left Polaroid in 1985 she was Senior Manager of Photosensitive Materials Research.
Along with her research work at Polaroid, Vivian had the opportunity to co-author a chapter with Dr. Land on one-step photography, She also wrote several encyclopedia articles on the subject. Overall, Vivian authored and co-authored 28 patents and numerous publications based on Polaroid research.
For many of her years at Polaroid Vivian was active in the Society for Imaging Science and Technology (IS&T). She served as its president from 1981-1985, as editor of its Journal of Imaging Science (1989-91) and the successor Journal of Imaging Science and Technology (1992-1996). She also founded IS&T's bimonthly newsletter, the IS&T Reporter, and edited it for 22 years." (from 3-dlegends/vivian-walworth site)
