The Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library holds several collections which are especially relevant to the Department of Politics. The Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs Records (AC129) document the history of that institution, of which the Department of Politics is one division. The Edward S. Corwin Papers (MC012), the Alpheus Thomas Mason Papers (MC177), the Hubert H. Wilson Papers (MC143), the William W. Lockwood Papers, the Harold Sprout Collection on the London Naval Conference (MC122), and the Joseph Coy Green Papers (MC065) contain the papers of several of the department's former faculty members. The University Archives also holds the Hubert H. Wilson Collection on the Department of Politics (AC167), a separate collection assembled by the professor which contains files on administration and trustees, as well as books and publications related to the department.

Appraisal has been conducted in accordance with Mudd Library guidelines. No separations were made during the 2007 processing.
