Virtual Excavations
Explore the excavation online
On this app, you can view the 2016 excavations conducted at the location of the Old College building and explore student research regarding artifacts that they recovered. What new stories will we tell? What more can we say about Harvard’s first buildings and its earliest students? How do we preserve that history and heritage and continue to bring it to the public?
You can also explore the dig and the objects discovered in Harvard Yard in our app, available on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
The excavation for 2018 is still in progress, but a virtual rendering of the excavation will be available soon. Stay updated for details, and follow the live progress via instagram in the meantime!
