Harvard-Google Project

The Harvard-Google Project is a collaboration between the Harvard University Library and Google to digitize a large number of Harvard's library books that are out of copyright and to make them available to Internet users. The Harvard Divinity School Library was the first Harvard library to complete its part in this project. Beginning in September 2006, bound volumes from the library—monographs, periodicals, reference works, and anthologies—were scanned, and most are now available for searching and reading through Internet links in HOLLIS or through Google Book Search.

While only a small percentage of the collection was scanned, a number of significant works were contributed by Harvard Divinity School Library, and these add to the religious and theological scholarly content of Google Book Search. The library's contribution includes works on biblical studies, hymnody, Christian social reform, missions, and world religions; the Congregational, Unitarian, and Universalist traditions are especially well represented.
