Guidebook

In 2015, the Crimson Key Society released the latest edition of Inside Harvard: A Student-Written Guide to the History and Lore of America’s Oldest University. As the product of a collaboration between CKS and Harvard Student Agencies, this guidebook is the result of many years of incredibly hard work by an extensive group of Harvard students. The guidebook presents a complete picture of the student experience at Harvard as well as a full account of the University’s history, including chapters about Admissions and Diversity, Social Life, Arts and Athletics, t

Members of the Crimson Key Society are currently hard at work on the newest edition of Inside Harvard, which is expected to hit shelves in the latter half of 2022.

Inside Harvard is available for purchase at Amazon.com. It can also be purchased from local booksellers in Harvard Square like the Harvard COOP and the Harvard Bookstore.

If you would like more information about Inside Harvard please contact our Guidebook and Marketing Manager, Anika Bagaria ’24, at [email protected].

CKS also publishes a map of Harvard Yard and Square that is distributed to tourists across the Cambridge and Boston areas free of charge. You can pick one up for free at the map stand inside the Smith Campus Center.
