Harvard Depository

{{Short description|Harvard University's media storage facility}}

The Harvard Depository, in Southborough, Massachusetts, is Harvard University's large-scale storage facility for books, documents, and special media (such as film and video). Opened in 1986 and expanded several times, it holds some 45% of the 16 million items held by Harvard's libraries, as well as non-library material such as archival records.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology also uses the facility.{{refn|http://news.mit.edu/2011/harvard-mit-libraries}}
