Periodic accruals to the collection may occur.

Complete information on the acquisition of the collection is not available. At least some of the football films were transferred from the Princeton University Athletics Department. The 2012 videos were transferred from the Athletics Department in 2012 (AR.2012.146).

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.

The film reels are stored offsite at the ReCAP facility. Most of the film is 16mm or 8mm and has not been transferred to any other format. Early films are fragile and have significant warping, along with other potential preservation issues.

The inventory for Series 1 was added by Phoebe Nobles in March, 2018.

Series 3: Princeton Freshman (Frosh) Football Film Reels was added by Kimberly McCauley in September, 2019.

Item Number 580 does not exist.
