The Office of Information Technology Records consists of papers and multimedia related to the administration and implementation of information technology at Princeton University. Key components of the collection include annual reports, priorities committee reports, correspondence, brochures, user and systems manuals, surveys and questionnaires on faculty and student computer usage, research material on the history of computing at Princeton, slides and photographs of computers and technology events around campus, and other records related to computing services at Princeton.

This collection also includes material related to Computing and Information Technology (CIT), the Computer Center, the Department of Administrative Systems and Data Processing, the Computer Center Committee, the Committee on University Data and Information Systems and other earlier technology departments and activities at the University, all of which eventually consolidated into the Office of Information Technology (OIT) in 2001.

Several prominent employees and administrators are represented in this collection, including correspondence and presentations by former Vice President of Computing and Information Technology Ira Fuchs and the office subject files of Jon Edwards, who served as the Assistant Vice President of Computing and Information Technology under Fuchs and later became the Coordinator of the Office of Information Technology Institutional Communications and Outreach.

The collection as a whole contains similar records within different series, and this is especially true with Subseries 1C: Staff Files, Subseries 2A: Subject Files, Run I, and Subseries 2B: Subject Files, Run II. Please see the individual series and subseries descriptions in the contents list for additional information.
