Overview and metadata sections
The Office of Development Communications creates a wide range of publications and other materials to support Princeton's fund-raising initiatives and to keep alumni, parents, and friends closely connected and well-informed about the life of the University. The major publications of the office have included Princeton: With One Accord, a newsletter mailed to more than 80,000 Princetonians quarterly between 1995 and 2000, and Links to Princeton, an e-newsletter for Princeton volunteers.
Consists of photographs, promotional materials and VHS tapes created for fundraising activities and publications. Most of the photographs are from development-related events such as the 1995 kickoff celebration of the Anniversary Campaign. Some are reproductions of photographs found in other collections held by the Princeton University Library's Department of Collections. Promotional materials document the initiation of the Aspire campaign and several building dedications. Also included are building dedication and event programs, invitations, and pins.
Occasional accruals of materials from the Office of Development Communications are expected to continue indefinitely.
