"Founded in 1981 as the “last experiment” of the accomplished scientist and entrepreneur Edwin H. Land, the Rowland Institute has developed a distinguished reputation for multi- and interdisciplinary research, especially in evolving areas at the junction of traditional fields such as physics and biology." (Harvard Gazette, 2002).

"The Rowland (truncated) Institute at Harvard, formerly the Rowland Institute for Science, was founded by Edwin H. Land (founder of Polaroid Corporation) as a nonprofit, privately endowed basic research organization in 1980. The institute merged with Harvard University on July 1, 2002. The Rowland Institute is dedicated to experimental science across a wide range of disciplines. Research subjects at the institute includes chemistry, physics and biology, and focus on interdisciplinary work and the development of new experimental tools." (Wikipedia)

The Rowland Institute for Science library was dismantled when the Rowland Institute moved from it's original home at 100 Edwin H Land Blvd, Cambridge MA to its new home on Oxford St at Harvard. (Inventory #: 29495)
