Widener Library (Cambridge, Mass.)
Hide Profile
Widener Library is the world's largest university library. It is the central library of the larger entity known as the Harvard College Library. Horace Trumbauer designed the library building. Begun in 1912 in the New Yard, on the site of Gore Hall (the previous college library, which was far too small), the library was completed in 1914. The library is named for Harry Elkins Widener (A.B. 1907) who died in 1912, an ill-fated passenger onboard the Titanic.
