Contemporary Alums
From time to time, the HDS website profiles alums. See also A-Sites: Archived Harvard Websites, which archives the school's website since 2007.
Harvard Divinity Bulletin is good source on campus life at HDS, especially the issues published between 1970 and 2000. For time to time, there were articles about students and news from alums.
In general, the library keeps historical information on the Harvard Divinity School. For information on living alumni, contact the Office of Development and External Relations.

For a brief time in the early 20thc., Harvard Divinity School and Andover Theological Seminary shared a campus. If you do not find someone in a Harvard listing, check whether they are listed in General Catalogue of Andover Theological Seminary (1927).
Harvard University Archives is the repository for Harvard Divinity School student records and files.
