Mission

The Property Information Resource Center (PIRC) is Harvard University's principal repository for records of the institution's buildings and land. The PIRC fulfills this purpose by collecting, organizing, cataloging, preserving, and providing efficient access to records and published information that documents Harvard University's built environment.

The PIRC helps Harvard University preserve its past and effectively plan for the future. Its collections document the rich and varied history of Harvard's built environment. Additionally, they provide critical background material for campus planning, new construction projects, and renovations to Harvard's buildings.
