Harvard Business School launches history site

Harvard Business School said today that it has launched an "Institutional Memory" website as part of its centennial celebration.

Located on the Web at http://institutionalmemory.hbs.edu, the interactive, multimedia site captures the history of the school through personal narratives and recollections of generations of faculty, staff, students, and alumni, the school said.

Celebrating Harvard Business School's first hundred years, the site "provides a personal perspective on the school's development and accomplishments, including the many innovations it created in both teaching and research," Mary Lee Kennedy, HBS's executive director of knowledge and library services, said in a statement. "Our vision is to tell the story of Harvard Business School, and its pioneering role in management and leadership education and research, through the accounts of the people who know it best. Through audio and video recordings, text and photos, we want to hear from as many people as possible about their experiences at the school."
