"58 permanent and seasonal employees
The Statue of Liberty was conceived as a memorial to the friendship between France and the United States. In subsequent years it has come to have a much broader significance. To the world it has become a symbol of the ideals upon which the United States is founded.
Employees are generally required to have a college degree in the natural sciences. Maintenance personnel must qualify in the various maintenance fields.
The Statue of Liberty, a division of the National Park Service, is funded by federal taxes.
The statue's history began when the French historian Edouard de Laboulaye proposed that a memorial be built to mark the alliance of France and the United States during the American Revolution. Frederick Auguste Bartholdi was its sculptor. He conceived it as a gigantic statue standing in New York Harbor, at the gateway to the New World, representing not only the friendship of the two nations but a common heritage, liberty.
In 1956 Congress changed the island's name from Bedloe's Island to Liberty Island, in recognition of the statue's significance symbolically and to establish the American Museum of Immigration on the island to honor those who chose these shores as their home.
In addition to general tourist activity, the statue maintains a museum. Organizations, such as the Ladies Auxiliary of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Committee to Free Captive Nations, hold annual celebrations at the statue."

Neal Slavin
Neal Slavin, a native New Yorker, began photographing groups in 1972. He quickly realized that shooting in color yielded greater nuance and detail, placing him among the first generation of photographers, along with William Eggleston and Joel Meyerowitz, to fully embrace color photography.
Over the past four decades, Slavin has recorded hundreds of groups from the most obscure to the most celebrated, both in the United States and abroad: Sabrett Hot Dog vendors, NYC; the Silurian Border Morris Men, Herefordshire; the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Salt Lake City; Elephant Keepers with Katie and Kumara, Bedfordshire; and the Mahayana Buddhist Service, NYC.
He has published three books: Portugal (Lustrum Press, 1971), When Two or More Are Gathered Together (Farrar Straus Giroux, 1974); and Britons (Aperture, 1986). His prints have been acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Centre Pompidou, Paris; the International Center of Photography (ICP), New York; the National Portrait Gallery and the National Museum of American Art, Washington, D.C.; the National Media Museum, London; and the John Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, among many others.
