Does anyone here have any connections to do a little research at Harvard? I need about 15 pages copied from an imprint that they have. I would be willing to pay someone for their trouble.

If you haven't done so already, try dropping the library a line. I've been very successful in getting photocopies of rare material from institutions, as long as the documents were too fragile and I was willing to pay copying costs and postage.
Interlibrary Loan usually works for me. As Eric suggests, for fragile documents they'll usually make a copy for a fee. If you have access to an academic library, you can probably get the material for free through interlibrary loan.
Acedemic libraries are usually pretty good about helping people out even if they do not go to said school. I would call the reference desk and ask or if it is in the special collections then ask for the special collection librarian.
