The George Eastman House is the oldest and most comprehensive collection of photographic and cinematic technology consisting of more than 16,000 artifacts. The collection also includes all the necessary equipment for photographic image printing, as well as documents related to the business, manufacturing, and marketing of the photography and film industries.
