- catalog description "The first library catalogs at Harvard were in book form. In the 1870's, Harvard began to adopt a new technology for library catalogs, the card catalog. The card catalogs for Harvard's libraries were for the most part library-specific. The "official catalog," located in Widener Library, was a union catalog; because of its scope, it was massive and its multitudinous card drawers were housed in multiple cases. It occupied an entire room and had navigational signs above each case. A more comprehensive union catalog was developed through the on-line catalog, HOLLIS, which received bibliographic records through a retrospective conversion project. In 1993, after conversion of the official catalog cards to electronic form, the official catalog drawers and the cases that held them were disassembled.".
