For the Spring Semester 2022, services offered by the Harvard Library Access and Borrowing Office (previously the Privileges Office) will be by appointment only. 

If you are a visiting researcher seeking to obtain library access and/or borrowing privileges, you will need to bring the following to your appointment:

  1. An original and current government issued photo ID
  2. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination (either the card itself or a photo of the card).  

Masks are required for all visitors inside library spaces.

For further information, please read the Harvard Library Vaccination Requirement Policy.
