From Wikipedia:
Harvard
referencing, also known as the author-date system and
parenthetical system, is a format for writing and organizing citations of
source materials.
Under the Harvard
referencing system, a brief citation to a source is given in
the text of an article, and full citations are collected in alphabetical order
under a
"References" or "Works Cited" heading at the end. The citation is placed in
parentheses after the sentence or part of one, followed by the year of
publication, as in (Smith 2005), and a page number where appropriate (Smith
2005, p. 1) or (Smith 2005:1). Then in a References section:

History
Harvard
referencing was first used in 1881 in a paper by Edward Laurens Mark,
professor of anatomy and director of the zoological laboratory at Harvard
University, who derived it from the laboratory library's cataloguing system.
Traditionally, Harvard referencing has been used mostly in the sciences
(University of Chicago Press 2006). In the fine arts, history, and literature,
the
footnote-style documentary-note or humanities system has traditionally
been preferred. The Vancouver system, a variation of Harvard referencing,
has been used primarily for medical works. In recent decades, "most scholarly
and professional organizations" have adopted Harvard referencing.
