This program brought leaders from urban settings to Harvard for two weeks to work on community development projects and create action plans for their communities. Preston Williams founded the program and served as the director from 1998 to 2008. Happy birthday, Preston!

Reading period is now in full swing. To ease stress for students (and anyone else in the HDS community) during this hectic time, the library will welcome Norah and Sophie, certified therapy dogs! They will visit today, May 5, 2026, 2-3:00.

In honor of their visit, we found some additional canine companions in this book describing animals in the bible from 1834.

Happy Halloween!

We’ve been driven batty with delight for this little fellow who is found presenting an image of chaos in this richly illustrated late 17th century Dutch book by Willem Goeree [SPEC 342 Goeree]. We have decided this guy is part possum and part Grampa Munster.

We’re starting a new series of staff picks! Starting off is Alex from Research Services. While working on an unrelated copy request for correspondence in the Paul Tillich papers, Alex came across the folder of correspondence between Paul Tillich and President John F. Kennedy! The folder contains various letters, but Alex wanted to highlight this specific one where JFK thanks Tillich for an inaugural gift. Peep JFK’s signature!

To learn more about Paul Tillich, one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century, click the link in our bio to explore the finding aid and explore the hundreds of boxes available for research!

To honor Pride Month, we wanted to show off a small selection of books from our general collections that focus on the LGBTQ+ community! These books (and many more) are available from our library for browsing or checkout.

This week marks the 200th anniversary of the American Unitarian Association! Take a look at the original record book that marks the occasion of their founding on May 25, 1825.
