Collections Explorer
Collections Explorer is an AI-driven search platform designed to support intuitive, exploratory searching across Harvard’s distinctive collections. It uses natural languages prompts, semantic search, and generative AI to make discovery easier for users who may not be familiar with special collections research or traditional library search platforms.
Collections Explorer is an experimental system. It is currently available as a Beta release and is under active development. New features and data sources will be added over the coming months.
User experience and feedback is an important part of our iterative development. Please share your feedback by filling out the Collections Explorer Feedback survey.
