report to donors 3 Letter from the Director

he past year has been remarkable by any standard. The Morgan has made long, important strides while facing serious challenges associated with the economic downturn. TThe creation of a comprehensive strategic plan was a high priority that occupied Trustees and staff throughout the fiscal year. The process began in May2008 with the appointment of a Strategic Planning Committee chaired by Trustee Hamilton Robinson, Jr. By the end of the year, our overarching goals had become clear: to build and preserve a collection of outstanding quality, in accordance with the highest standards of scholarship and best professional practice; to promote scholarship in the fields in which the Morgan collects; to expand and diversify audiences by means of engaging exhibitions, imaginative public and educational programs, and innovative use of new technologies; to assiduously advance the stature and reputation of the Morgan; to nurture strong relationships with current and prospective donors, and develop robust sources of earned and contributed income; and to ensure long-term success through good governance, teamwork, collaboration, and exemplary management of the Morgan’s human resources and exceptional facility. The Morgan’s strategic plan lays out rich possibilities for advancing our essential mission. Implementation is under way. Yet, while the economic downturn of 2008 did much to sharpen our focus, it also made planning much more difficult. We sought to reduce expenses while making every effort to increase earned and contributed income. In the following pages, you will read of our 2009 exhibition program, reflecting the diversity of the Morgan’s holdings, and of numerous noteworthy acquisitions and gifts of funds. I am grateful for the exceptional contributions of Elaine Rosenberg, Mel Seiden, and Clare and Eugene Thaw as well as for the substantial support that we received from the estates of Joseph McCrindle and Margaret Hanson, the Drue Heinz Trust, and the Sunny Crawford von Bülow Fund 1978. Throughout the period of this report our highest priority was to maintain and expand the level of service we provide to scholars and the general public. We continue our efforts to enhance access to the permanent collection, and we are planning a restoration and reinstallation of Mr. Morgan’s Library. This year we endorsed a new vision: to celebrate creativity and the imagination with the conviction that meaningful engagement with literature, music, history, and art enriches lives, opens minds, and deepens understanding. The ideals and aspirations these words represent will guide and inspire us as we set out to realize our strategic plan and lead this great institution forward. To all our donors, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks for your continued generosity, which makes possible everything we do.

William M. Griswold Director

4 the morgan library & museum Letter from the President

espite a difficult financial environment in fiscal2009 , the number and quality of the Morgan’s scholarly and public programs remained extraordinarily high throughout the period of this report. Several major gifts and a strong overall Dresponse to last year’s annual fund appeal helped to offset declines in earned and other contributed income, while various measures reduced costs by more than $1 million. The Alice Tully Foundation made an exceptionally generous gift of $6 million to unrestricted endowment, which was added to the corpus of a fund already existing in Alice’s name. The Alice Tully Fund for Art and Music stands as a tribute to her many contributions as a longtime Trustee and benefactor of the Morgan. 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 $20 million outstanding. A comprehensive Strategic Plan, generously funded by the Sherman Fairchild Foundation, was nearly complete by March 31. (The plan was adopted by the Board of Trustees in early fiscal2010 .) Our thanks go to Trustee Hamilton Robinson, Jr., Chair of the Strategic Planning Committee, to the members of the Committee, and to Bill Griswold and his staff. Their dedication to this effort has produced a document of substance and vision that will guide the Morgan’s activities throughout the next five years. Many supporters helped counterbalance the effects of a weak economy and sustained the Morgan’s tradition of excellence this year. Their generous contributions are sincerely appreciated and gratefully acknowledged.
