The Harvard Map Collection is open by appointment to all researchers, regardless of affiliation. Our exhibition gallery is open to the public.
Find Us
The Harvard Map Collection is located inside Pusey Library. To find Pusey Library, face the columned entrance of Widener Library and go to the left. The ground level of Pusey is down a flight of stairs. If you don’t have a Harvard ID, inform the guard that you are visiting the Map Collection. The Map Collection is past the University Archives.
Building Accessibility
For access without stairs, Harvard ID holders can enter through the main Lamont Library entrance via the ramp at the Quincy Street gate. If you do not have a Harvard ID and require elevator access, please check in first at Widener Library via the Massachusetts Avenue entrance and someone will assist you from there.
Please contact us if you have questions about the accessibility of the reading room.
