Center for the History of Medicine: Policies & Procedures Manual

This manual is designed to aid Center staff in an ongoing effort to achieve quality and consistency in our operations across units and functions, and to provide transparency and openness around the policies and procedures that guide our work. The creation and issue of this manual coincides with a greater movement among Harvard library leadership to adopt a shared IT infrastructure, collection management and cataloging software, and more uniform processing and descriptive practices (see: Harvard Joint Processing Guidelines). The Center anticipates that the policies and procedures outlined in this manual will continue to be revised in the coming years, not only to better standardize our own practices to our benefit (and the benefit of future Center staff seeking to understand how collections were handled), but to ensure that we are in compliance with University-wide guidelines.
