Series 7: Photographs, 1870-2005
Collection Overview
Collection Description & Creator Information
- Scope and Contents
Series 7: Photographs contains files which for the most part were grouped under the heading "Photographs" by the department. The files include photographs of faculty, staff, undergraduate and graduate students; of field trips and scenery; of events on campus; and of campus buildings. The files in Series 7 tend to contain photographs almost exclusively, while many folders throughout the rest of the Department of Geosciences Records contain photographs stored together with other materials. Note that both Series 5: Field Trips and Expeditions and Series 6: Natural History Museum also contain subgroups called "Photographs." Photographs of individual faculty and staff are often found in their files in Series 2.
- Arrangement
The files are arranged physically in the order in which they were received from the department. For the purposes of this finding aid, the archivist has grouped the photographs loosely into three categories.
Collection History
- Appraisal

Access & Use
- Conditions Governing Access
Series 7 is open for research with the exception of fragile glass-plate negatives.
Access to glass-plate negatives is restricted due to their fragility. Where prints of the negatives are present, the prints are open for research use. Though digitization may not be possible for every negative, researchers may make requests to digitize material according to Mudd Library's policy on digitization of photographs.
- Conditions Governing Use
Single copies may be made for research purposes. To cite or publish quotations that fall within Fair Use, as defined under U. S. Copyright Law, no permission is required. The Trustees of Princeton University hold copyright to all materials generated by Princeton University employees in the course of their work. For instances beyond Fair Use, if copyright is held by Princeton University, researchers do not need to obtain permission, complete any forms, or receive a letter to move forward with use of materials from the Princeton University Archives.
For instances beyond Fair Use where the copyright is not held by the University, while permission from the Library is not required, it is the responsibility of the researcher to determine whether any permissions related to copyright, privacy, publicity, or any other rights are necessary for their intended use of the Library's materials, and to obtain all required permissions from any existing rights holders, if they have not already done so. Princeton University Library's Special Collections does not charge any permission or use fees for the publication of images of materials from our collections, nor does it require researchers to obtain its permission for said use. The department does request that its collections be properly cited and images credited. More detailed information can be found on the Copyright, Credit and Citations Guidelines page on our website.

- Physical Characteristics and Technical Requirements
For preservation reasons, original analog and digital media may not be read or played back in the reading room. Users may visually inspect physical media but may not remove it from its enclosure. All analog audiovisual media must be digitized to preservation-quality standards prior to use. Audiovisual digitization requests are processed by an approved third-party vendor. Please note, the transfer time required can be as little as several weeks to as long as several months and there may be financial costs associated with the process. Requests should be directed through the Ask Us Form.
