We believe, though, that even the strongest of organizations must continually evolve and adapt to a changing environment, and it was in this spirit that the Trustees and members of the staff came together to chart a strategic plan for the Frick’s future. I know that I am not alone in believ- ing that one of the Collection’s greatest charms is that, upon entering Henry Clay Frick’s extraordinary house, I feel as if I have stepped back in time to a more tranquil and more civil age. Our planning brought into focus the complexity of the effort to sustain the intimacy and spirit of an institution that celebrates the past while at the same time right: The recent relighting of the Fragonard Room was recognized by a Lumen Award for the integration of new technology into a historic restoration.

Annual Report July 2007–June 2008 5 michael bodycomb I am very pleased to share with you the wonderful news that this year the Frick received the highest possible commenda- tion in its re-accreditation by the American Association of Museums (AAM). The re-­ accreditation process, which takes place every ten years, involves a rigorous review of the full spectrum of a museum’s activities— its scholarly and educational programs, operations, finances, physical plant, security, policies, and leadership. The AAM’s review panel recognized the Frick as a model of its kind: an institution that has made a signifi- cant contribution to the cultural landscape through its special exhibitions and research programs and whose collections are lovingly and thoughtfully cared for. It is heartening for the Frick’s superlative staff to be recog- nized in this way by its peers. An institution is only as great as its people, and I am proud of the accomplish- ments of the Frick’s very capable staff. In February, Colin B. Bailey, the Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator, was promoted to the position of Associate Director. Since joining the Frick as Chief Curator in 2000, Colin has done a remarkable job overseeing the curatorial, conservation, education, registration, and publications departments.

Members of the Library’s staff are con- stantly engaged in outreach and promotion, whether preparing exhibitions, delivering papers at conferences, or publishing on sub- jects related to the object-­oriented research that the Library champions. This was a banner year in this regard, starting with the remarkable installation mounted by the staff of the conservation department, Every Picture Tells a Story. The display, created from an array of images from the archives and the photoarchive, exemplified a dozen photographic processes from the past 150 years and was accompanied by an illustrated checklist that served as a primer for the study of photography.
