What about Harvard?

A question that we're often asked is: Can I look at this at Harvard?

The answer is: maybe. There are many libraries at Harvard University and each one has a different policy for visitors. Please check the access policy of the particular library you wish to visit before you go. If required, you can request a letter of introduction at the Research Help Office on the first floor of Snell Library.
