World-renowned for its collections in the fields of photography and cinema, the museum is also a leader in [[film preservation]] and [[photograph conservation]], educating archivists and conservators from around the world. Home to the 500-seat [[Dryden Theatre]], the museum is located on the estate of entrepreneur and philanthropist [[George Eastman]], the founder of [[Eastman Kodak]] Company. The estate was designated a [[National Historic Landmark]] in 1966.

==History==
[[File:GeorgeEastmanHouse.jpg|thumb|left|Interior]]

The Rochester estate of [[George Eastman]] (1854–1932) was bequeathed upon his death to the [[University of Rochester]].  University presidents (first [[Benjamin Rush Rhees]], then [[Alan Valentine]]) occupied Eastman's mansion as a residence for ten years.<ref name="D&C_Nov10">{{cite news|last=Chao|first=Mary|title=Historic houses are finding new lives in Rochester|url=http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20101122/NEWS01/11220309/Historic-houses-are-finding-new-lives-in-Rochester&referrer=NEWSFRONTCAROUSEL|access-date=November 22, 2010|newspaper=[[Democrat and Chronicle]]|date=November 22, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101123114940/http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20101122/NEWS01/11220309/Historic-houses-are-finding-new-lives-in-Rochester%26referrer%3DNEWSFRONTCAROUSEL|archive-date=November 23, 2010|url-status=dead|location=[[Rochester, New York]]|pages=1A, 4A}}</ref> In 1948, the university transferred the property to the museum and the [[Georgian Revival architecture|Georgian Revival Style]] mansion was adapted to serve the museum's operations.<ref name="GEH1" />

George Eastman House was chartered as a museum in 1947.<ref name="Image">{{cite journal |first=Beaumont |last=Newhall |title=The First Decade |date=December 1982 |journal=Image |volume=25 |issue=3–4 |url=http://image.eastmanhouse.org/files/GEH_1982_25_03-04.pdf |pages=2–3 |access-date=April 29, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110725164403/http://image.eastmanhouse.org/files/GEH_1982_25_03-04.pdf |archive-date=July 25, 2011}}</ref> From the outset, the museum's mission has been to collect, preserve, and present the history of [[photography]] and [[film]]. The museum opened its doors on November 9, 1949, displaying its core collections in the former public rooms of Eastman's house. In October 2015, the museum changed its name from ''George Eastman House'' to the ''George Eastman Museum''.<ref>{{cite web|title=George Eastman Museum Announces New Name {{!}} George Eastman Museum|url=http://www.eastman.org/george-eastman-museum-announces-new-name|access-date=2015-10-09}}</ref>

The museum's original collections included the Medicus collection of [[Photography and photographers of the American Civil War|Civil War photographs]] by [[Alexander Gardner (photographer)|Alexander Gardner]], Eastman Kodak Company's historical collection, and the massive [[Gabriel Cromer]] collection of nineteenth-century French photography. The Eastman Museum has received donations of entire archives, corporate and individual collections, and the estates of leading photographers, as well as thousands of [[Film|motion picture]]s and massive holdings of cinematic [[ephemera]].

But by July 19, 1984, the museum had a $500,000 deficit,<ref name="nytimes-1985-from-eastman-house">{{cite news |last1=Thornton |first1=Gene |title=PHOTOGRAPHY VIEW; FROM EASTMAN HOUSE, A HISTORY BEGINNING WITH DAGUERRE |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1985/06/16/arts/photography-view-from-eastman-house-a-history-beginning-with-daguerre.html |access-date=22 April 2022 |work=The New York Times |date=16 June 1985}}</ref><ref name="wa-po-1985-rochesters-proposal"/> and the museum's holdings were considered by many to be among the world's finest, but with the collections growing at a rapid pace, the museum was increasingly burdened by its own success. Additional space became critical to store and study the increasing number of collected objects.

In 1985, the Smithsonian Institution was offered title and control, if it agreed to leave the Eastman Archives in Rochester and pay $1 million a year towards maintenance.<ref name="wa-po-1985-rochesters-proposal">{{cite news |last1=Conroy |first1=Sarah Booth |title=Rochester's Proposal |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1985/03/20/rochesters-proposal/19d8a94a-ceae-475a-970c-cce77a9903b6/ |access-date=22 April 2022 |newspaper=[[Washington Post]] |date=20 March 1985}}</ref> The Smithsonian would appoint the director and staff and set curatorial policies.<ref name="wa-po-1985-rochesters-proposal"/>

In 1996, the museum opened the Louis B. Mayer Conservation Center in nearby [[Chili, New York|Chili]]. One of only four film conservation centers in the United States (as of March 2006), the facility houses the museum's rare [[35 mm movie film|35 mm]] prints made on [[cellulose nitrate]]. That same year, the Eastman House launched the first school of [[film preservation]] in the United States to teach restoration, preservation, and archiving of motion pictures. The L. Jeffrey Selznick School of Film Preservation was founded with support from The Louis B. Mayer Foundation.

In 1999, the George Eastman Museum launched the Mellon Advanced Residency Program in [[Photograph conservation|Photograph Conservation]], made possible with grant support from the [[Andrew W. Mellon Foundation]]. The program trained top photograph archivists and conservators from around the world.

George Eastman Museum has organized numerous groundbreaking exhibitions, including ''[[New Topographics|New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape]]'' in 1975.

The collection includes original vintage works produced by nearly every process and printing medium employed. Notable holdings include:
* One of the world's largest collection of daguerreotypes, including more than 1,000 by [[Southworth & Hawes]]

The George Eastman Museum's collection includes the complete moving-image works of [[William Kentridge]].

==George Eastman Awards==

The George Eastman Museum established the [[George Eastman Award]] for distinguished contribution to the art of film in 1955 as the first award given by an American film archive and museum to honor artistic work of enduring value.<ref>{{cite web |title=George Eastman Award |url=https://www.eastman.org/george-eastman-award |website=George Eastman Museum |access-date=17 February 2020 |archive-date=24 November 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181124235031/https://www.eastman.org/george-eastman-award |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==George Eastman's Estate==
[[George Eastman]] built his residence at 900 East Avenue between 1902 and 1905. He created a unique urban estate complete with {{convert|10.5|acre|m2}} of working farm land, formal gardens, greenhouses, stables, barns, pastures, and a {{convert|35000|sqft|m2|adj=on}}, 50-room [[Colonial Revival]] mansion with a fireproof structure made of reinforced concrete.

Eastman's house presented a neoclassical [[Georgian Revival architecture|Georgian Revival]] [[facade]] of decorative craftsmanship. Beneath this exterior were such modern conveniences as an [[electrical generator]], an internal telephone system with 21 stations, a built-in vacuum cleaning system, a central clock network, an [[elevator]], and a great Aeolian [[pipe organ]]. Eastman used the house as a center of the city's rich musical life from 1905 until his death in 1932.

The estate was declared a [[National Historic Landmark]] in 1966.<ref name="nhlsum" /><ref name="nrhpinv">{{Cite web |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: George Eastman House|url={{NHLS url|id=66000529}} |format=pdf|author=Richard Greenwood |date=January 8, 1976|publisher=National Park Service}} and {{NHLS url|id=66000529|title=Accompanying 2 photos, 1 exterior from 1905 and 1 interior from 1920.|photos=y}}&nbsp;{{small|(518&nbsp;[[Kibibyte|KiB]])}}</ref>
