Since the doors of College House Number 2 opened to the first six students in the fall of 1817, almost everything at Harvard Law School has changed. But in this collection of photos selected from the school’s Historical & Special Collections, the Harvard University Archives and the Harvard Law Bulletin, you will see threads of continuity, no matter which decade—or even which century—you arrived. A photo offers up a moment, and we hope this collection conveys something of the history of this place, its people and its ethos.
