Related Materials

In addition to the Office of the Registrar Records, the Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library holds the records of many other University administrative offices who work in conjunction with the Registrar to establish and enforce policies. These collections include the Office of the President Records, the Office of the Dean of the College Records, the Office of the Provost Records, the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students Records, and the Office of the Secretary Records.

Additionally, the Library's Historical Subject Files Collection contains some materials pertaining to the Registrar, and the annually published editions of the Princeton University Catalogue provide some sense of the evolving responsibilities of the position.

Finally, many of the student academic records found in Series 1 of the Office of the Registrar Records are duplicated in the Undergraduate and Graduate Alumni Files of individual students.
