The Occasions and Events series documents many of the services, events, and festivals that have taken place at Princeton. Many of the events in this series, such as Unity Weekend and the Martin Luther King, Jr., Day celebration, document the diversity of the Princeton community. The collection's files on distinguished visitors, found in this series as well, are sorted by name (or, in the case of groups, place of origin).

The Performing Arts series documents the music and theater programs at Princeton. The file includes information about concerts, theater performances, the Princeton Friends of Music, the Ladies Music Fund, and programs and schedules. Student music and theater clubs are generally filed in Series 9 (Clubs and Student Organizations).

The Princeton Area series documents subjects related more to the town of Princeton, or the surrounding area, than to Princeton University. Files related to the municipal governments in Princeton; University-town relations; other Princeton institutions; and Princeton homes, businesses, and organizations are represented here particularly well. Because documents in all other series in this collection are assumed to be directly related to the University, files on subjects that are related to the Princeton area instead of the University are nearly always filed in this series regardless of topic.

The Special Programs series documents the special programs run by the University, or by organizations closely associated with the University, including summer camps, summer programs, study-away programs, Outdoor Action, and an array of other programs. Academic programs are filed in Series 2 (Academics); programs closely associated with particular centers or institutes may be found in Series 8 (Centers, Institutes, and Research).
