Students are hired by Harvard University Archives as
researchers for out of town research requests or for researchers who
are unable to spend time in the Archives.
The students donot work in the Archives and are hired
through another office. You can get in touch with the Reference
Archivist to get further information as to how it is
done.

For those of you in Special Collections and Manuscript Repositories with
student employees:
Has anyone on the list created a policy allowing researchers to hire
students to conduct research for them? Often researchers requesting
materials via telephone, mail, or email require more research/copying than the
staff can provide. I know of institutions that provide lists of
independent researchers for those types of patrons. Anyone ever provided student
assistants for that purpose?
