The originals of the historic negatives and PPPL Hotline are located at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory.

Portions of this collection were transferred to the University Archives by the Plasma Physics Laboratory on October 17, 2007, July 29, 2008, and January 15, 2015.

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.

Digital Images in TIFF and PDF formats require software for viewing. Access to this material follows the Mudd Manuscript Library policy for preservation and access to audiovisual materials.

This collection contains materials acquired from an Apple mini computer running OS X 10.7.5 ("Lion"). Researchers are responsible for meeting the technical requirements needed to access these materials, including any and all hardware and software
