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.

A few artifacts related to the Princeton University 250th anniversary are located in the Princeton Memorabilia Collection located at Mudd Manuscript Library. Descriptions of these items may be found by selecting category "250th Celebration" and leaving the other boxes blank on the search page for the Princeton Memorabilia Collection database, located online at http://www.princeton.edu/~mudd/databases/memorabilia.html.

Research materials used in the writing of the 250th anniversary commemorative coffee table book are available in AC245, Don Oberdorfer Papers on PRINCETON UNIVERSITY: THE FIRST 250 YEARS, 1994-1995.

Appraisal has been conducted in accordance with Mudd Library guidelines. Duplicate publications, printed materials, artifacts, and recordings have been deaccessioned. Phone message books from the Office of Princeton's 250th Anniversary, sales material for vendors interested in doing business with the office, and a very small amount of materials unrelated to Princeton have also been deaccessioned. Non-duplicative Princeton-related materials predating the 250th anniversary celebration have been transferred to the Princeton Memorabilia Collection, the Princeton Artwork Collection, the Audiovisual Collection and the Historic Photograph Collection. Records from a conference held by the Department of History in May 1996, From Redemption to Reaganism: American Conservatism 1865-1980, have been transferred to the Department of History Records. A detailed separation record is available.
