Please note:
In the interest of reducing the number of people on campus and slowing the opportunity for transmission,  the  Library will be closed temporarily. Staff will be working remotely and without access to physical collections. Research questions can be submitted via the Ask a Schlesinger Librarian webform.
Please note that response times may be affected as we assist Harvard students and faculty with their remote learning and research needs.  We appreciate your patience.
