Title: Records of the Treasurer of Harvard University, 1669-2008.

The Records of the Treasurer of Harvard University document the management and oversight of Harvard's finances including income, expenses, and assets.

The collection consists of fifteen series illuminating the progression of Harvard's financial recordkeeping from handwritten fund notes of the mid-seventeenth century to electronically issued reports.

The two most complete record series are the Reports and University Accounts, which document the University's core financial activities from 1669 to the present. The most extensive series in the collection, Real Estate, contains photographs, leases, mortgages, and related correspondence resulting from the University's properties in thirteen states, the District of Columbia, and Bermuda. The other series in the collection are less comprehensive. The Records of the Treasurer of Harvard University begin with the tenure of John Richards. Limited records in the form of annual reports are available since 1984.
