The glass-plate negatives which comprise the Rose Photography Studio Collection were once part of a larger collection of approximately 8000 Rose Studio negatives held at Firestone Library. In 1992 that collection was gifted to the Historical Society of Princeton, however in June of 1995 a group of approximately 700 negative plates which depicted University activities were transferred to the University Archives in the Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library, forming this collection.

This collection can also be found under call number AC317. The materials described here are the same as those described in AC317, Series 1, Boxes 1-71.

This collection was processed by Daniel Brennan in March 2009. Finding aid written by Daniel Brennan in March 2009.

All information regarding the content and the number of plates in the collection was transcribed from existing box labels. Any discrepancies between this list and the contents of the collection are the result of the original labels. Though most of the plates lacked accompanying dates, by and large the majority of the class photos were taken at reunions.

All glass plate negatives in the Rose Photography Studio Collection were rehoused in July and August of 2019. Due to this rehousing the number of boxes within the collection expanded. Any discrepancies between topic and correspondng box number were not reconciled at the time of rehousing.

In addition to the Rose Photography Studio Collection at the Historical Society of Princeton, several prints of other images from the Rose Photography Studio can be found in the library's Historical Photograph Collection, Campus Life Series
