Collection Overview

Collection Description & Creator Information

Arrangement

The file descriptions have been organized into series, but no physical arrangement was done during 2024 processing. The CEA Files series was arranged by document type prior to acquisition by the Mudd Library.

Collection History

Custodial History

The digital files in this collection were collected from Alan Krueger by Sean Vanatta, a PhD student in Princeton University's Department of History, who consulted the files in preparation for a series of interviews he conducted with Krueger. Mr. Vanatta created an organizational structure for the files prior to their acquisition by the Mudd Library.

Appraisal

Audio files of interviews with Krueger and partial transcripts of these interviews were removed from the collection at the request of Professor Krueger. Personal materials unrelated to his professional career were also removed, as were some materials personally identifiable information and student work.

Processing Information

The initial accession was processed by Rachel Van Unen in 2014 at the time of accessioning. Files were run through the Mudd Library's digital curation procedures and described in a collection-level finding aid. All original folder and file names created by the donor have been maintained.

Additional materials donated in 2019 and 2021 were processed by Will Clements, with assistance from Maya Houser ('22) and Santiago Castro Carrillo, and completed in 2024.

Access & Use

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. For instances beyond Fair Use, any copyright vested in the donor has passed to The Trustees of Princeton University and researchers do not need to obtain permission, complete any forms, or receive a letter to move forward with use of donor-created materials within the collection. For materials in the collection not created by the donor, or where the material is not an original, the copyright is likely not held by the University. In these instances, 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. 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.
