Harvard Universtiy - Sidney Verba Library Fund

Grant Awarded: 
$1,000,000

In 2006, we granted $1.0 million to the Sidney Verba Library Fund which undertakes various projects at Harvard University Library.

Sidney Verba was appointed to Harvard University library directorship by President Derek C. Bok in 1984. In the intervening years, Verba has led the Harvard library system—the oldest library in America and the largest academic library in the world—through more than two decades of unprecedented change.

The Sidney Verba Library Fund benefits the Harvard University Library, which provides University-wide services, including digital acquisitions and collections, information technology, high-density storage, and preservation.
