Series 4, Grounds, consists of information that is related to the acreage associated with the University and the history of the campus' landscaping.

Series 5, Princeton Borough, contains information on structures not located on the Princeton University campus itself, but which are closely related to the history of the school. Some of the buildings were used as professors' houses, and others in this section were owned by notable townspeople with connections to the University. In some cases, the property owned but not used by the University is represented. In the case of off-campus faculty housing, the line between Town and Gown becomes blurred. The series also contains numerous insurance surveys from the late 1940s and early 1950s. The Princeton Borough Historical Subjects files should be used in conjunction with the Grounds and Buildings files.

Series 5 is arranged alphabetically by building or location.

1 box

Series 6, General, consists of information that is related to overarching themes shared by the buildings (such as "Campus Planning"). This series includes chronological lists that have been developed by various researchers. The folders entitled, "General, Architecture," and followed by inclusive dates are particularly rich in contextual articles. The material in the file on Utilities makes reference to the early history of electrical engineering studies at Princeton as well the physical plant of the campus. There are also files on particular topics, such as the accessibility of buildings.

Series 6 is arranged alphabetically by topic.

The Beatrix Farrand Digital Images documents various buildings and grounds plans related to Princeton University and the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. The series is composed of prints, blueprints, drawings and photographs created in the early 20th century, all of which originated during Beatrix Farrand's appointment as the University's landscape architect. The Graduate College, the Engineering Building, University Place dormitories and the Chemical Laboratory are particularly well represented. The content of this series is not represented or duplicated in other series of the collection.

The series is arranged thematically into four files according to their format type (i.e., drawing or photograph).
