George Eastman Society

George Eastman Society members provide essential annual unrestricted support for the museum that is critical to ensuring that we can offer diverse and compelling exhibitions and programs, retain a talented and dedicated staff, and continue our important work in the preservation of our world class photography, moving image, technology, and legacy collections. This group of our most generous donors and supporters helps to safeguard and promote the future of the George Eastman Museum year after year.
