Guidebook & Map

The Crimson Key Society is proud to announce the release of “Inside Harvard: A Student-Written Guide to the History and Lore of America’s Oldest University”! The product of a collaboration between CKS and Harvard Student Agencies this guidebook is the result of two years of incredibly hard work by an extensive group of Harvard students, headed by Editor-in-Chief, Alexandre Terrien ’11. Including chapters about Admissions and Diversity, Social Life, Arts and Athletics, the guidebook presents a complete picture of the student experience at Harvard in addition to a full account of the University’s history.

“Inside Harvard” is available for purchase online at the Harvard Student Agencies online store at insideharvard.hsa.net or at Amazon.com. It can also be purchased from local booksellers in Harvard Square such as the Harvard Events and Information Center in the Holyoke Center, the Harvard COOP and the Harvard Bookstore.

If you would like to know anything more about “Inside Harvard” please contact our Guidebook and Marketing Manager: Kathleen Goodwin '13 at [email protected]

CKS is also working to publish a map of Harvard Yard and Square that will be distributed to tourists across the Cambridge and Boston areas free of charge. The map will be a comprehensive rendering of a patch of earth with which we are very familiar, and through our product, hope to make come alive for you.

If you are a business owner, publicity manager, or you are simply interested in partnering with Crimson Key Society on our map project, please contact our Treasurer: Todd Venook ’13 at [email protected] for more details.
