- Scope and Contents
Consists of approximately 3500 glass plate negatives and prints containing images of Princeton University, primarily of the campus and buildings
- Arrangement
All descriptive information was transcribed from material enclosures. The source of these descriptions is unknown. Due to the unreliability of these transcribed descriptions, no extensive arrangement of the materials has been undertaken. In order to help facilitate search, some descriptions have been grouped by common theme.
- Acquisition:
This collection has been assembled through multiple accessions
- Appraisal
Appraisal information was not recorded at time of accessioning
- Processing Information
Collection is mostly unprocessed, with some minimal processing on numbered negatives and prints.
During a survey of the collection in September and October of 2019, all descriptive information was transcribed from material enclosures by Kimberly McCauley. The original source of these descriptions is unknown. Due to the unreliability of these transcribed descriptions, and the fragility of the materials, no extensive arrangement of the materials has been undertaken. In order to help facilitate search, some descriptions have been grouped by common theme. Any discrepencies between description and corresponding material is a result of prior descriptive work.
In some cases plates are labeled with more then one identifying number. Although these numbers do not correspond to prints within the collection, they have been noted in the items description.
- Conditions Governing Access
Access to the 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
