George Eastman House | 2007 Compression Images were projected on the front of House during a January candlelight vigil held in association with the DARFUR/DARFUR exhibition. Dear Friends,

We are pleased to share with you the 2007 Annual Report.

Much of what we do at George Eastman House can be divided into three broad categories: caring for the Museum’s world-class collections, sharing the collections with the widest audience possible, and training the next generation of caretakers of still and moving images. You will find this report echoes those broad categories.

It is an invigorating task each year to compress 365 days of acquisition, conservation, exhibition, and education into what you now hold in your hands. In preparation of this annual wrap-up, we review thousands of images of the Museum’s activities, and in doing so, we are reminded that our successes are the direct result of your support.

Underlying these activities is a financial foundation that is built through the generosity of those who support the mission of George Eastman House: to educate and inspire through , motion pictures, , technological equipment, and the legacy of George Eastman.

We invite you to share our pride in the accomplishments of George Eastman House. You make our success possible.

Sincerely,

Susan S. Robfogel Chair, Board of Trustees Director
