Harvard University's Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments (CHSI),[1] established 1948, is "one of the three largest university collections of its kind in the world".[2] Waywiser, the online catalog of the collection, lists over 60% of the collection's 20,000 objects as of 2014[update].[3][4] The collection was originally curated by Mr. David P Wheatland in his office to prevent obsolete equipment from being cannibalized for its component parts and materials.[5]
