408 volunteers 45,921 acquisitions to 6 collections Dear Friends of George Eastman House, The year 2008 will likely be remembered by most as the year in which the worldwide economic markets declined precipitously, affecting individuals and institutions everywhere. While the Museum was far from immune from the financial crisis, 2008 for Eastman House was a year in which the strategic planning process had trustees and staff together focusing on the core values and principal strengths of the Museum—work that positioned the Museum well for the George Eastman House unforeseen economic decline. Dick Eastman | Collections Volunteer John Curran’s Down Rusty Down (1996), donated by the director in 2008 Eastman House’s core values—stewardship, intellectual curiosity, innovation, responsiveness, and collaboration—are not only reflected in 75 visiting artists, lecturers, and performers 7.5 million pages viewed at the Museum’s Web addresses 24 exhibitions on display at the Museum the work of the Museum, but were values of George Eastman. Advanced education in photograph and film preservation, international access to the assets of Eastman House, and a vibrant experience for visitors in Rochester—these are the principal strengths of this Museum, and ultimately, its core commitments. The collections at George Eastman House are magnificent. As stewards of those collections, it is our duty to make them available while also ensuring that the great-grandchildren of your great-grandchildren have the same opportunity.

As you peruse this 2008 Annual Report, you’ll see the Museum’s core values manifest through its projects and programs. For example, Eastman House’s innovative collaborations with cultural institutions such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the International Center of Photography are advancing conservation research, sharing research findings in real time, and multiplying the resources of each of the participating institutions.

We are honored by the loyalty our friends and patrons displayed in 2008, in attendance, support, and words of encouragement. In grateful appreciation,

Aside from all the cool pictures and friends I made, I also learned a lot about photography. We worked with Photoshop®, learned how to work a digital camera, learned the mechanics of a PolaroidTM camera, and did a scavenger hunt all about the house and George Eastman. I took a lot away from the day camp at Eastman House— new friends and great experiences! ” —Amanda, Age 12, Batavia, NY

“The Photo Camps inspire creativity while teaching the participants digital skills needed by every 21st- century citizen. I enjoyed helping to ensure that children from all walks of life were able to take part in these camps.” —Sherman F. Levey, Vice Chair, Board of Trustees

Continuing George Eastman’s tradition of helping children see the world differently through a camera’s viewfinder, George House presented its second year of Summer Photo Fun Work- shops for Kids. Scholarship funds were available for the first time in 2008. The week-long programs for children ages 7 to 14 are designed to encourage passion about image-making through hands-on exercises in a variety of multimedia, as well as both digital and traditional silver-based photography. More than 110 children attend the popular camps, and they walk away with much more than a typical day camp experi- ence. Workshops in 2008 included Freaky Photos, On Location, Darkroom to Digital, and Photo Fashion. Right, top: A self-portrait created by 2008 camper Jonathan, age 13, from Shortsville, NY.

Viewers also enjoyed seeing Eastman’s images by Steichen, Rothstein, and Friedlander, and comparing them with photographs on view in the permanent collection galleries by Mississippi-born photographers such as Welty and Eggleston, or visiting artists such as Cartier-Bresson or Hine.” —Dan Piersol, Deputy Director of Programs, Mississippi Museum of Art

“George Eastman House was among the first award recipients of the National Endowment for the Arts’ American Masterpieces program. American Masterpieces celebrates the extraordinary and rich evolution of the visual arts in the United States by supporting the cre- ation and touring of major exhibitions to small and medium-sized communities across the nation. The fact that Seeing Ourselves: Masterpieces of American Photography continued to tour the United States beyond the period of grant funding is testimony to both the importance of the NEA’s American Masterpieces program and the quality of the exhibition.” —Anthony Bannon, Director

For decades, George Eastman House has been making its col- lections available to audiences worldwide through an aggres- sive traveling exhibitions program. These exhibitions assure that both the physical and scholarly treasures of the Museum reach the widest possible audience. Seeing Ourselves: Masterpieces of American Photography con- tinued its national tour in 2008 with stops in Columbia, SC; Zanesville, OH; Jackson, MS; and Lafayette, LA. Funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, the show is comprised of more than 300 images representing 150 years of photography.

Mellon Fellow

Staff and fellows of the Andrew W. Mellon Advanced Residency Program in Photograph Conservation are field experts, frequently consulting on conservation and collec- tions management issues with colleagues around the world, as well as designing first-of-their-kind preservation treat- ments for objects using a host of photographic processes. Their work may include bringing hidden treasures back to light. This is the case with the earliest-known photographic images of the Philippines—daguerreotypes discovered in 2007 at the Hispanic Society of America in New York City— that have since been restored and placed in conservation housings by the Mellon fellows.

One of fourteen film preservations completed in 2008, Technicolor™ masterpiece Pandora and the Flying Dutchman (1951), starring Ava Gardner and James Mason, was restored by George Eastman House in cooperation with The Douris Cor- poration, with funding provided by The Film Foundation and the Franco-American Cultural Fund.
