The
Berkman Center for Internet & Society is a research center at
Harvard University that focuses on the study of
cyberspace. Founded at
Harvard Law School, the center traditionally focused on internet-related legal issues. On May 15, 2008, the Center was elevated to an interfaculty initiative of Harvard University as a whole. It is named after the Berkman family, who owned the communications company The Associated Group (later sold to
