About the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments
Harvard University has been acquiring scientific instruments on a continuous basis for teaching and research since 1672. Established in 1948, the CHSI has become one of the three largest university collections of its kind in the world. Highlights of the collection include a geometric sector designed by Galileo, electrical experimentation apparatus purchased on Harvard's behalf by Benjamin Franklin, a suite of clocks illustrating the development of modern synchronized time-keeping, medical apparatus designed, in part, by Charles Lindbergh, and the artifacts of top-secret research conducted during World War II. |
