About Us

The Human Resource team is dedicated to supporting Harvard Library’s community of talented individuals who work with faculty, students, and researchers to explore answers to intellectual questions, both enduring and new, and to seek solutions to the world’s most consequential problems.

We deliver responsive and effective human resource services and programs that address the multi-dimensional needs of employees and managers and that align with the mission and strategic priorities of Harvard Library. We believe an inclusive environment that cultivates and promotes diversity, understanding, respect, and collaboration across our workforce inspires and enables success.

We know that a website is no substitute for a real live human connection. Your Human Resources team is just a phone call, email, or meeting away.
