This initiative will make Photography the Morgan’s seventh curatorial department. Technology continues to revolutionize the way that we work. The Morgan expanded its online presence. Staff created seven online exhibitions that took the shows in our galleries as their starting point. We made available on our Web site a digital facsimile of the Morgan’s celebrated manuscript of Charles Dickens’s Christmas Carol. Catalogers added more than 7,000 complete bibliographic records to WorldCat, an online resource that lists the holdings of 72,000 libraries worldwide. Conversion of the photography studio to an all-digital facility in fiscal 2010 resulted in a sustained increase in pro- ductivity, allowing staff to make further strides toward the digitization of the Morgan’s collection. Several long-standing members of staff retired between April 2011 and March 2012. Patricia Reyes, Mellon Conservator and the Morgan’s longest-serving staff member, retired after forty-seven years; Anna Lou Ashby, Curator of Printed Books and Bindings, retired after thirty years; and Inge Dupont, Head of Reader Services, retired after twenty-five years.
