This library has one of the largest collections of women’s studies in the world. Definitely a place to visit and explore to see primary source materials on many interesting. Topics and historical events

Amazing and impressive building. Great collection in different areas. It is amazing just to seat there and feel the culture it is deposited in there.

The librarians I've worked with at the Schlesinger Library have been very nice and helpful in showing me how to request items in the collection. Definitely get a sense of what you might be interested in seeing by looking online first (though they do have computers there) and be prepared to leave your items in a locker beforehand. Only pencils and their provided paper are allowed in the reading room.

This is a lovely spot in a very attractive quadrangle of Harvard University and Radcliffe College. One should combine it with a walk around Harvard Yard and the Square. However, only Harvard undergraduates have borrowing rights.

originally developed as Radcliffe's Library, the Schlesinger's collections are unequalled. Manuscript holding from prominent women, wonderful changing exhibits, digital projects and a great curatorial staff make for a wonderful facility for scholars and researchers. Lectures and seminars open to the public add the this library's important contributions to documenting the role that women have played in society writ large.
