Series 2: Syllabi Removed from the Princetoniana Collection, 1826-1947
Collection Overview
Collection Description & Creator Information
- Scope and Contents
Series 2: Syllabi Removed from the Princetoniana Collection, 1826-1947 (bulk 1850-1920) consists of printed syllabi and lecture notes that at some point were classified as part of the library's Princetoniana collection under call numbers starting with P435. Almost all of the items were printed specifically for use by students in classes at Princeton, and are based on lectures given by Princeton professors. They cover a broad range of subjects, including subjects no longer taught at Princeton, such as Law.
- Arrangement
Materials in Series 2: Syllabi Removed from the Princetoniana Collection, 1826-1947 (bulk 1950-1920) have been arranged in folders by subject, following the call numbers they were assigned under the Richardson classification system. The subject-based folders remain in the same alphabetical order in which the subjects appeared in the classification system. Please see the Special Collections Classed List of 1920 for an outline of this classification system.
