Projects at Harvard is a free web site building tool available to groups at Harvard wishing to create a site for their project. It is one of two main Harvard installations of OpenScholar and a creation of Harvard’s Institute for Quantitative Social Science.

Projects at Harvard (and the personal site-oriented Scholars at Harvard) provide simple web site creation and management with a suite of features tailored to the particular needs of academics.
