Staff 24 Mission Statement

he Pierpont Morgan Library was incorporated in 1924 as an educational institution dedicated to fostering a greater knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of primarily Western history and culture. Originally formed by Pierpont Morgan (1837– T1913), the permanent collection records and reflects achievements of European and American literature, music, art, and history. The Morgan is one of the very few institutions in the United States that collects, exhibits, and sponsors research in the areas of illuminated manuscripts, master drawings, rare books, fine bindings, and literary, historical, and music manuscripts.

To realize its purpose, The Morgan Library & Museum has four goals:

to function as a center and source for research and publication in the permanent collection and to promote its scholarly study;

to preserve and care for the collection that is held in trust for the American people;

to acquire, through purchase and gift, significant works in the fields established by Pierpont Morgan;

to present the collection, related exhibitions, and interpretive programming to the general public, students, collectors, and scholars in a manner consistent with the highest educational and artistic standards.

The significance of the collection mandates a national and international role for the institution, both as an educational resource for the general public and as a research center for the scholarly community.

report to donors 3 Letter from the Director

aving begun my tenure as the fifth Director of The Morgan Library & Museum on February 11, 2008, I am honored to take up where Charles E. Pierce, Jr. left off, H and to report to our donors on an exceptional year of accomplishments. It was a pleasure to spend my first few months as Director in conversation with individual Trustees, members of the Council of Fellows, and staff, as well as meeting many of our donors and key support groups, including the Association of Fellows and our members. We have shared ideas about the Morgan’s role in the cultural life of New York and beyond, and discussed the many activities that contribute to our success as a library and a museum.

As this report indicates, exhibitions during the past year have been notable for their scope and quality. They have been the subject of lectures, symposia, family days, school programs, and other educational offerings, and have been augmented by a richly varied music program in the expanded Morgan’s new Gilder Lehrman Hall. At the same time, we continued to make our holdings available to students and scholars in our Fairchild Reading Room, Drawing Study Center, and, electronically, on the Web.

We have already sketched out a number of initiatives for the near term. We are looking closely at exhibition planning as it relates both to what we present and how we display and interpret the objects we show. With the completion of our recent expansion, we have the opportunity to turn our attention to the way the glorious period rooms of the original McKim library might tell our visitors more about the Morgan and its collection. And we have taken the first steps toward a strategic planning process to assure that the promise of our transformed facility is fully realized.

I am thrilled to be back at the Morgan, to be working again with the Board and the staff, and to be part of a collaborative effort to make available, interpret, and continue to build the collection of one of the world’s most important repositories of human creativity. I look forward with the greatest anticipation and excitement to what we will accomplish together.

Thank you, warmly, for your generosity.

William M. Griswold Director

4 the morgan library & museum Letter from the President

am delighted to welcome William M. Griswold as Director of The Morgan Library & Museum. Bill was formerly Director and President of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and, years earlier, head of the Morgan’s department of Drawings and Prints. I am confidentI Bill will lead the institution into a new era of opportunity and challenge.

The generosity of our patrons and friends has helped establish the Charles E. Pierce, Jr. Fund for Exhibitions with gifts totaling more than $1.3 million. Honoring Charlie Pierce’s two decades of service as Director, the fund will provide a reliable stream of support for the principal means of making our holdings and related works from other collections accessible to the public.

Capital campaign pledge payments received during the year made possible a further $10 million reduction to the bond issue that helped finance the building project, leaving $30 million remaining to be paid down. We anticipate paying down another $10 million in fiscal year 2009, to bring the balance to $20 million. Two key challenge grants, from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities, were successfully met, establishing or augmenting endowment for the core activities of the departments of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts and Literary and Historical Manuscripts, respectively.

Financial challenges lie ahead for the Morgan. As anticipated when the budget was developed, operating revenues were not sufficient to meet the expenses of running the expanded Morgan complex and its full complement of exhibitions and programs. In addition, turmoil in the credit markets ended the favorable investment environment that had benefited the endowment in recent years. The Board of Trustees is committed to ensuring that expenses are matched with sufficient income to sustain the financial well- being of this institution, without sacrificing the level of excellence that has been synonymous with the Morgan since its founding.

The energy, enthusiasm, and financial support of our donors are gratefully acknowledged. Thank you for giving so generously to The Morgan Library & Museum.

S. Parker Gilbert President of the Board of Trustees
