Houghton Library is committed to supporting and promoting research, teaching, and learning while preserving our rare and unique collections.
Houghton is not available as a background setting for non-educational, non-collection-related projects or promotions.
Filming and recording on-site at Houghton Library may be accommodated when:
- A Harvard faculty member requests filming as part of their teaching program
- The University or Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) administration requests filming to promote education and/or teaching with the Harvard collections
- A request from outside Harvard is for an educational project in which Houghton Library collections are integral
Houghton librarians may conduct media interviews with advance permission from Harvard Library Communications.
All requests for filming, photography, or interviews should be made at least two weeks in advance through Harvard Library Communications.
