Location: 

Dudley House, Lehman Hall, Harvard Yard, Cambridge
From Henry Dunster’s presidential notes to  21st century email, the Harvard University Archives offers teaching and research riches from more than 1,500 faculty, staff, students, and alumni active in the Harvard community from the 17th century to the present-- and a protective place to preserve your own archives and intellectual legacy. For more about the value and pleasure of archival discovery, join Harry Lewis, Gordon McKay Professor of Computer Science, Jennifer Hochschild, Henry LaBarre Jayne Professor of Government and Professor of African and African-American Studies, and Virginia Hunt, Associate University Archivist for Collection Development, for a discussion and a show-and-tell.

What’s in the Archives now? What’s in your own file drawers or on your desktops that would be a treasure for students and historians in the 22nd century?
