Sibley's Harvard Graduates

A Prospect of the Colledges in Cambridge in New England
Engraving attributed to John Harris after William Burgis, 1726 Sibley's Harvard Graduates is a vital reference series for any student of colonial America and the New Republic. The volumes in this ongoing series contain biographical sketches of every one of the students who attended Harvard College from its first class in 1642 through 1774. Named for John Langdon Sibley, the longtime Harvard librarian who published the first volume in 1873, the series provides an extensive synthesis of data found nowhere else.
