Series 1. General, 1746-2019
The General series contains documents, clippings, and correspondence about each decade in Princeton's history from its founding until the present. The series consists of material that can neither be filed in any one other series nor in the chronologically arranged portion of the historical subject files. The files of Keeper of Princetoniana Frederic Fox, for example, include his notes on various aspects of Princeton life and history. Campus maps and general campus views can also be found here. Themed campus tours include views of Princeton in 1865, as well as tours focusing on trees and gargoyles.
Folders are arranged chronologically, with the exception of a grouping of general, non-chronological, folders which can be found at the beginning of the series.

Series 2. Academics, 1819-2011
The bulk of the Academics series consists of material on particular academic departments, programs, and schools. Departments, programs, and schools whose names have changed or that have become defunct are nevertheless filed in this series; departments with more than one successive name (or departments that have split or merged) may have more than one folder -- one for each official name. The general section at the beginning of the series holds other academic topics such as the honor system, the preceptorial system, and grading.
Folders are arranged alphabetically by academic department, program, or school. Files on general academics topics have been placed in a general section at the beginning of the series.

This series documents the composition and activities of the alumni, the Alumni Council, and other alumni organizations. A large section at the beginning of this series documents the activities of the Alumni Council (the University-sponsored administrative arm of the Alumni Association), including Princeton reunions. Other topics include alumni organizations, occupations, regional associations, and long alphabetical runs on doubtful alumni (those individuals whose alumni status is in doubt) and alumni families (families who have sent more than one member to Princeton or who have been deeply involved in the University).
Folders are arranged alphabetically by topic or form.

The Centers, Institutes, and Research series documents centers, institutes, and research projects at Princeton. Centers and institutes may be highly academic in nature, like the Center for the Study of Religion, or they may concentrate on social goals such as the Frist Campus Center or the Third World Center. Research projects range from the Woodrow Wilson Papers Project to the nude posture photograph project.
Folders are arranged alphabetically by the name of the center, institute, or research project. There is also a general section at the beginning of the series that includes general information on research at Princeton.

The Clubs and Organizations series documents the many clubs and organizations that members of the Princeton University community have created throughout Princeton's history. Though most clubs are founded, run, and consist only of students, some clubs are run just by faculty and staff or include all three. Many of the files only contain but a few clippings that give just a slight understanding of those clubs and organizations, although others are more richly documented.
Clubs are arranged alphabetically within the following general categories: academic; arts and music; career; debating and literary societies; ethnic, international, and regional; gender and sexuality; health and counseling; media; political and activist; recreational; religion and spirituality; service and community; social; and undetermined.

Turing Centennial Celebration, 2012
The demonstrations series documents the protests, strikes, and riots coordinated by or chiefly involving members of the Princeton University community (sometimes only students, but often including faculty and staff as well). Many early demonstrations, such as the 1800 riot, were the result of student unhappiness over the rules of an intransigent administration, such as the "unreasonable" mandatory daily 6am chapel services, which were extremely cold in the winter. Not all protests, however, involved significant internal dissention. In 1970, students, faculty, and administration largely came together to declare a strike against President Richard Nixon's expansion of the Vietnam War into Cambodia.

The Legal Cases series contains newspaper clippings and legal briefs that document lawsuits and court cases that Princeton has been involved with throughout the years. Many of the cases covered in this file pertain to lawsuits between a student or a faculty member and the University. Some of the cases are concerned with important social or ethnic issues. The McDonald case brought up issues of racial inequality at Princeton, while the Ruble case brought up issues of gender discrimination in faculty appointments. Cases in this series also document legal cases that did not directly involve Princeton such as the Menendez brothers murder trial.

Series 29. Princeton Area, 1781-2014
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 External Views on Princeton series documents the opinions and views of non-Princetonians about Princeton University. Princeton has—almost since its founding—been a favorite subject of writers, artists, and filmmakers. Though it is often portrayed with admiration, it is also sometimes the subject of criticism or parody. This series also includes rankings of universities that include Princeton, things named for Princeton, and lists of Princetonians awarded non-Princeton prizes and awards. A large section of this series consists of newspaper and magazine articles about Princeton (the bulk of which date to the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries). Because of the number of these that are oversize, an oversize run is included as part of the series. For media produced at Princeton or by Princetonians on subjects other than Princeton, see Series 24 (Multimedia). For other newspaper and magazine articles about specific time periods in Princeton's history, see the chronological section of Series 1 (General).
Folders are arranged alphabetically by topic or form. Newspaper and magazine articles about Princeton are arranged chronologically in two runs—regular size and oversize.

Series 36 documents Princeton University's involvement in war. From the Revolutionary War's Battle of Princeton, which was fought in part on campus, to the tremendous efforts made by the University during World War II to facilitate training and mobilization, Princeton has been significantly involved in many of America's most momentous wars. Subjects that relate to the military but not necessarily to a particular war, such as the Bronze Memorial Star program, the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), and the U.S.S. Princeton series of naval vessels are held in this series as well.
Files are grouped by war and arranged alphabetically within. The wars are ordered chronologically. Files pertaining to no specific war have been placed in a general section at the beginning of the series.

- Scope and Contents
The Historical Subject Files documents Princeton University history and related topics from 1746 to the present. The collection consists of documents in almost every two-dimensional format: articles, books and booklets, clippings, correspondence, memoranda, non-photographic images, notes, pamphlets, posters, and reports. Because documents are continually added to each series, the date range for each series and the entire collection is listed simply as "present."
All series refer to the subject's relationship or association with Princeton University except for Series 29 (Princeton Area) which refers to subjects associated mostly (or only) with the communities surrounding the University. For example, Series 26 (Occasions and Events) refers to Princeton University occasions and events. Material on a town-sponsored July Fourth celebration, because it has little to do with the University, is filed in Series 29 (Princeton Area).
Photographs have been removed from all series in this collection except for Series 29 (Princeton Area) and added to the Historical Photograph Collection (AC 112 and others). Oversize materials from each series have been replaced by a cross-reference form and moved to larger folders at the end of the collection for Subseries 37A (Oversize Boxes) and in the Mudd Library basement for Subseries 37B (Oversize Cabinets).
Please see series descriptions in the contents list for additional information about individual series.
- Acquisition:
The Historic Subject Files Collection was transferred to the University Archives after its establishment in 1959 . Archives staff continue to add to established files and, where necessary, create new subjects and folders.
- Custodial History
Varnum Lansing Collins, Class of 1892 and Secretary of Princeton University (1917-1936), created the Historical Subject Files Collection as a reference for his historical writing interests. An author of a history of the University and a guide to the campus and town, Collins collected a wide variety of materials pertaining to these topics. The files were transferred to the University Archives after its establishment in 1959.
- Accruals
As documents deemed appropriate for inclusion in the Historical Subject Files are accessioned by the University Archives, they are added to the collection and finding aid. A major contributor to the collection is the Communications Office, which provides copies of printed materials it produces for various campus offices.
- Appraisal
Boxes 34 and 35, material created by the Department of Geosciences, have been removed and placed in AC139, the Department of Geosciences Records.
