The Consortium is delighted to welcome Harvard University as its newest member.
Researchers will be able to apply to the Consortium for funding to conduct research in the collections of Harvard University. Harvard Library is the largest university library in the world. Founded in 1638, Harvard libraries now hold over 21 million volumes, 400 million manuscripts, 10 million photographs, 1 million maps and tens of millions of digital images. The Harvard Department of the History of Science is among the leading departments in the world in the field. While Harvard scholars have participated in the Consortium's programs, as members they will now help to run and oversee them.
We look forward to working with our colleagues at Harvard to provide fellowships for researchers, producing events for academics and for public audiences, and providing online resources for teaching, learning and research.
