  • Eric Geoghegan
  • Eric Geoghegan was born in July, 1903. In 1924 Geoghegan sailed to India to work for BAT (British American Tobacco), a British owned multinational company, the largest traders of tobacco in the world at that time. His career led him to Mandalay and Rangoon prior to 1936; this is where the majority of his film collection is shot.
