The Harvard University and Radcliffe College Archives are digitizing the annual reports of the presidents of Harvard and of Radcliffe from the 19th and 20th centuries. The project will create digital images of the original reports plus searchable texts. This project is the first step in building the Harvard/Radcliffe On-Line Historical Reference Shelf, an Internet- accessible source for the history of the two institutions.

Previously seen by only a handful of scholars, the Hedda Morrison Photograph Collection documents a range of social and cultural subjects in China during the 1930s and 1940s. It will now be available to students and scholars at Harvard. This project by the Harvard-Yenching Library preserves the photographs and also provides a record of this crucial time in Chinese history.

The Fine Arts Library and the Harvard University Art Museums are converting images of Asian art materials in the museum and in the library's slide collections. Descriptions and thumbnail images of the materials will be available in a new union catalog of visual materials, and reference-quality images will be accessible online.

The Baker Business Library is ensuring long-term access to American trade cards from the 1870s through 1890s. These early advertisements, documenting a time of industrial and commercial growth, are rich sources for social and cultural history. They will be digitized and available in a comprehensive catalog of digitized images.

The Harvard College Library Social Science Program will create catalog information for a range of statistical data sets acquired by the College Library Map Collection. The project is one part of a larger undertaking -- the Geo-Spatial Data Liboratory, an online repository of geospatial data, and facilities to help students use and interpret these data.
