George Eastman House International Museum of Photography & FilmDescriptionThe photography collection contains more than 400,000 photographs and negatives dating from the invention of photography to the present day. More than 14,000 photographers are represented in the collection, featuring virtually all the main figures in the history of the medium.
The Motion Picture Collection at George Eastman House, one of the main moving image archives in the United States, was begun in 1949 by the first curator of film, James Card (1915-2000). His vision, daring and persistence helped to establish George Eastman House as a leading force in the field with holdings of over 25,000 titles and a collection of stills, posters and papers with over 3 million artifacts.
The technology collection is one of the world's largest collections of photographic and cinematographic equipment. It contains nineteenth- and twentieth-century objects of photographic technology, including cameras, processing equipment, motion picture devices, and a broad range of early historical accessories.
