The Harvard University Archives is the oldest and one of the largest institutional academic archives in the nation.

The Harvard University Archives collects, organizes, preserves and provides access to a comprehensive record of more than 375 years of life at Harvard. From 17th and 18th century diaries and scientific observations to 21st century web sites, the Harvard University Archives’ collections comprise over 51,000 feet and 9 terabytes of University records and related historical materials.

This activity is tied integrally to records management services for Harvard University staff, administrators and faculty.

Description: The Harvard Fine Arts Library currently houses 2,602 individual East Asian rubbings, the majority of which are from China.

A project to catalog and digitize the entire collection was completed in July 2007. All 1945 Chinese rubbing records and images have been added to Harvard's VIA image catalog and are findable through this website.
