Overview and metadata sections

Vinton, Frederic, 1817-1890

Frederic Vinton was librarian of the Chancellor Green Library at Princeton from 1873 to 1890.

The collection consists of letters to Vinton or collected by him, including some relating to his position as librarian of the Chancellor Green Library at Princeton (1873-1890), several letters regarding the Peithessophian Society (Rutgers University), and a letter from the secretary of the Board of Trustees of Amherst College announcing the conferring of an honorary degree on him.

This collection was formed as a result of a departmental practice of combining into one collection manuscript material of various accessions relating to a particular author.

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.
