Harvard from Home was created by HISTSCI191, “Harvard’s Changing Landscape,” and oral history project-based course, in conjunction with the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments (CHSI). The class initially planned to conduct an oral history of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences on the eve of their move to Allston, but the momentous transformation of the University in March suggested to us that an even more dramatic historical event was taking place on our campus. We have shifted the focus of the class to collecting and preserving how Harvard community members are experiencing COVID-19 through the unprecedented decision to depopulate the campus in the name of public health.

The HISTSCI191 course was Emma Broder, Borey Chea, Lily Gulledge, Alessio Fikre, Michelle Walsh, and Dave Unger (Instructor), with technical help from Maureen Ton (CHSI), Clayton Scoble (Lamont Library), and Jeremy Guillette (FAS Instructional Technology).
