The Harris classification was created by George William Harris, who served as University Librarian at Cornell from 1886-1915. Based on the British Library classification system, the Harris classification grouped books loosely by subject. In 1942, Cornell University Library embarked on a project to convert its books to the Library of Congress classification system. Most of the conversion was finished by the early 1970s, but a small number of rare books remained in the Harris classification.
