H-Sites: Harvard Life and Learning

Collected by: Harvard University Archives

Archived since: Mar, 2015

Description:

As part of its mission to document Harvard University, the Harvard University Archives has collected across several centuries thousands of personal archives of individuals and records of organizations affiliated with the University, including faculty, students, and clubs. Many of these materials are now created on web sites. The purpose of H-Sites: Harvard Life and Learning is to collect and make accessible this web-based material. As it grows, the H-Sites collection will document the intellectual and social interests of a segment of the community of people who live, work, and learn at Harvard: primarily faculty and students, but also, occasionally, visiting scholars and staff. Their lives both inside and outside of classrooms and offices are an integral part of Harvard's culture and history. HOLLIS catalog: http://id.lib.harvard.edu/alma/990132517800203941/catalog
