Heutige Folge: Harvard Law School Library, "Garden of Law"

The Law School now manages the second largest library at Harvard with a staff of almost 94 on an annual budget of ten million dollars. Its extensive special collections are widely known. Besides current professional research, the Library supports a wide range of historical and international scholarship. The collections stand at 1.7 million books and bound manuscripts, 450,000 volume-equivalents in roll microform or microfiche, significant manuscript holdings, and a unique art collection. Since World War II the School has acquired more than 20,000 new books each year. In recent years, annual weeding of the book stock, including conversion to microform, has approached 5,000 volumes.

We believe the Harvard Law School Library is the most luxuriant, extensive, and carefully selected garden of law in existence. Unfortunately, time is limited for every member of the Harvard Law School community to enjoy the riches of the Library; there are many exciting demands on one's energy and attention. As you visit us either in person or through our home page, remember that we have many gardeners with a variety of skills and specialties.
