The Kodak discusses AUB social life as well as social and political events in Greater Syria, and as such, constitutes one of the early examples of reporter photo journalism. Some of the most noteworthy events covered in the three issues of The Kodak that were handed down to the Libraries are the celebration of the anniversary of the coronation of the Ottoman Sultan in BeitEddine (summer 1903), the fire of the Petroleum Store House in Beirut (January 1904).
