I am required to use the Harvard Reference Style for my dissertation. The APA
style seem to be the closest. What do I need to make it fully Harvard
compiant?

There is no such thing as "the" Harvard Reference Style. It is just a common
name for author-date styles. You will have to talk to your
supervisor/librarian and ask him/her what the specifications for your
institution are.

I made a couple of Harvard implementations available online:
Harvard AGPS -
http://bibword.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=22931
Harvard Anglia -
http://bibword.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=19783
Harvard Exeter -
http://bibword.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=22890
Harvard Leeds -
http://bibword.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=19776

If none of those 4 fit your needs, you can probably edit one of them to fit
your particular needs using the online documentation.

(The term "Harvard style" is unknown in the US, even at Harvard
University. The most frequently used implementations in the US are
Chicago style -- Word's implementation of Chicago style has _many_
problems -- and APA. Word's implementation of APA has the peculiar
habit of inserting a space _before_ many of the commas that separate
parts of the reference.)

A while ago a reference to a wiki article was posted here -- it seems
the style was first seen in Britain in an article by a Harvard
professor (presumably invented by him), but the Harvard University
Press hasn't publicly issued a style guide as the University of
Chicago Press (which claims to be the oldest university press in the
country, 1892) did starting in 1906. I haven't seen the earliest
versions, but "Chicago style" was well established by the 1949
edition. I don't know when the APA got into the act.
