Overview and metadata sections
The Papers of Woodrow Wilson Project, co-sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson Foundation and Princeton University, was a successful project to publish material generated by and influencing Woodrow Wilson; the 35 year project resulted in an acclaimed 69 volume set.
In 1957, the New York-based Woodrow Wilson Foundation (organized in 1922 by a group of Wilson admirers who desired to disseminate Wilson's ideals throughout America) decided to devote its entire financial resources to the collection and publication of Woodrow Wilson's papers. The idea for the project originated in 1956 with a Congressional Centennial Celebration Commission appointed in recognition of the 100th anniversary of Wilson's birth; the commission hired Dr. David Hirst to make survey of Wilson materials scattered in repositories throughout country. Based on the survey, the commission determined a need to publish the papers. The Woodrow Wilson Foundation assumed responsibility for sponsoring and funding the complete scholarly edition of Wilson Papers. Historian and Wilson biographer Arthur S. Link was invited to be director of project in 1958; the associate editors included David W. Hirst, John E. Little, and John Wells Davidson. In 1959, co-sponsorship of the project was divided between the Foundation and Princeton University. The project was initially headquartered at the Library of Congress, but moved to Princeton in 1963.
The Papers of Woodrow Wilson Project initiated a new style of historical editing. Rather than just using the official Wilson Papers from housed at the Library of Congress (which formed the basis for the six-volume Public Papers of Woodrow Wilson, edited by Ray Stannard Baker and William E. Dodd and published between 1925 and 1927), Link and his associates decided to publish all documents that had an important impact on Wilson's thought. They searched for and published documents that Wilson himself generated (although Wilson kept no copies of his personal letters and few copies of official letters written by hand or typewriter), but also decided to include all important incoming materials, the memoranda, letters, and reports that Wilson read, that had an impact on him and helped shape his policies. The editorial team also included speeches and "third party records," for example, diary entries reporting conversations with Wilson. Despite the project running through 1994, the staff never used computers, instead gathering and sorting photocopied documents (the editorial team never worked directly with original documents) and index cards into four large loose-leaf binders delivered to Princeton University Press twice a year for copy editing and typesetting. Arthur Link remained chief editor for the entire length of the project; the last volume was published in 1994.
The records of the Papers of Woodrow Wilson Project, compiled by chief editor Arthur S. Link and his staff, document the life and times of the former Princeton University president, governor of New Jersey, and president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, as well as the project to bring together documentation by and about Wilson. The records consist of photocopies of correspondence, notes and diaries from various sources, drafts of manuscripts, printed material, photographs, and microfilms from the collections of various repositories, tape recordings referable to Wilson and the Woodrow Wilson Foundation, numbered card index files, and the editorial office files including search files, correspondence, and drafts of notes. The collection of photocopied and microfilmed documents contained within these records is considered to be the most complete set of Wilsoniana in the world.

For Series 1: Photocopied Sources and Series 2: Photographs and Audio-Visual Materials, originals are located at the various repositories that participated in the Papers of Woodrow Wilson Project, namely the Library of Congress, the National Archives, Princeton University Library, and many other repositories worldwide. When possible, the origination information is given in the container list. Additional origination information is located in Series 3: Indexes, and in the front of each volume of The Papers of Woodrow Wilson edited by Arthur S. Link. For more details, please contact the Mudd Manuscript Library.
Gift of the Directors of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation, Dr. Pendleton Herring, President, in May 8, 1992.
Series 3: Indexes includes boxes of cards indexing the materials in Series 1: Photocopied Sources. The main indexes, incoming and outgoing correspondence, are alphabetical indexes organized by name of correspondent. Additional indexes include a chronological file of all correspondence gathered by the editorial staff, a numerical file (matching up to the numbers stamped on all photocopied documents gathered) and several source files. More specialized indexes include speech files, place files, marginalia, and newspaper clippings, among others.
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 audio portion of the Papers of Woodrow Wilson Project Records at the Mudd Manuscript Library is currently on 5", 7" and 10" reel-to-reel and cassette tapes. The collection also includes Dictaphone Belts.
This collection was processed by Jennifer Cole in March 2007. Finding aid written by Jennifer Cole in May 2007.
There is a gap in box numbering between Boxes 533 and 663, and between 690 and 694.
Typescripts and galleys for published volumes, as well as personnel files from the Administrative section of the collection, were discarded. Microfilm reels duplicating the collections within the Princeton University Library's Microforms Department, photocopies of materials held by the Special Collections Department of the Princeton University Library, and photocopies of materials that duplicated microfilm held in the collection were separated from this collection.
Some indexes, including a chronological file of all correspondence gathered by the editorial staff and a numerical file (matching up to the numbers stamped on all photocopied documents gathered) and several source files were removed from the records in 2020. Thus there is a gap in box numbering between Boxes 533 and 663, and between 690 and 694.

Collection Inventory
The Photocopied Sources Series documents the primary source material written by and about Wilson throughout his life (and after), including his outgoing and incoming correspondence, writings and speeches, lecture notes and marginalia, as well as reports, memos, speeches that he reviewed, and correspondence, diary entries and other written communication about Wilson. The materials (all photocopies) were gathered by Project staff to be considered for publication in the Papers of Woodrow Wilson, but the series includes material that was not ultimately published.
Most of the items within this series are indexed in the cards described in Series 3: Indexes.
The Photocopied Sources Series is divided into three subseries: Subject Files, Chronological Run, and Miscellaneous Photocopies.
Physical Description441 boxes
The Subject Files Subseries consists of photocopied documents written by Wilson from his time as an undergraduate at Princeton University up to his appointment at Princeton as a professor that were compiled by Project staff. Materials include drafts of his monograph Congressional Government, essays, notebooks, work from his time as a doctoral student at Johns Hopkins University, lecture notes, and scrapbooks.
The Subject Files Subseries is arranged roughly alphabetically. The Papers of Woodrow Wilson Project's original arrangement was maintained.

The Miscellaneous Photocopies Subseries consists mainly of documents written by others about Wilson, although his marginalia, speeches, classroom lectures, and executive appointment diaries are included within this section. The bulk of the subseries contains diaries of others, official reports, and writings on Wilson. Of particular note are transcripts of the Charles Swem shorthand notebooks and photocopies of the Cary T. Grayson papers, including copies of the diary he maintained while traveling with Wilson as his physician. This subseries is closely related to Subseries 2B: Microfilm, in that similar types of materials are included in both subseries, although there is little or no overlapping content.
The Papers of Woodrow Wilson Project's original arrangement was maintained, except for oversized photocopies, which were moved to the end of the subseries.

The Photographs and Audio-Visual Series consists of photographs, microfilm, and sound recordings gathered by the editorial staff of the Papers of Woodrow Wilson. The photographs provide a visual complement to the papers gathered in this collection, and many were published throughout the 69 volumes of Wilson papers. The microfilm consists of reels ordered from repositories throughout the country and around the world, containing correspondence to and from Wilson, as well as reports from his administration, diaries, newspapers, and papers of individuals related to Wilson. The audio contains recordings of radio programs and seminars on the topic of Wilson, as well as some of his speeches.
The Photographs and Audio-Visual Materials Series is divided into three subseries: Photographs, Microfilm, and Audio.
Physical Description21 boxes

The Microfilm Subseries contains correspondence, documents, newspapers, and writings of Wilson and others which had been microfilmed by various repositories and purchased by the editorial staff for reference and inclusion in the Papers of Woodrow Wilson Project. Repositories from which significant amounts of reels were purchased include the Library of Congress, the National Archives, the London Public Records Office, Princeton University, and Yale University. This subseries is closely related to Subseries 1C: Miscellaneous Photocopies, in that similar types of materials are included in both subseries, although there is little or no overlapping content.
The Microfilm Subseries is arranged alphabetically by the name of repository holding the original materials.

The Indexes Series provides a tool for researches to delve into the material gathered by the editorial staff of the Papers of Woodrow Wilson. The series includes boxes of cards indexing the materials in Series 1: Photocopied Sources. The main indexes, incoming and outgoing correspondence, are alphabetical indexes organized by name of correspondent.
More specialized indexes include speech files, place files, marginalia, and newspaper clippings, among others. Three volumes included in this series provide a guide to the Woodrow Wilson Papers at the Library of Congress and a guide to the contents of Wilson's personal library in 1921.
Additional indexes, including a chronological file of all correspondence gathered by the editorial staff and a numerical file (matching up to the numbers stamped on all photocopied documents gathered) and several source files were removed from the records in 2020. Thus there is a gap in box numbering between Boxes 533 and 663, and between 690 and 694.
The Indexes Series is arranged by type of index. The Papers of Woodrow Wilson Project's original arrangement was maintained.

The Administrative Records Series documents the inner workings of the editorial staff of the Papers of Woodrow Wilson, and is comprised mainly of office files. The series contains correspondence and files documenting the campaign to seek out Wilson and Wilson-related correspondence, writings, and documents held by repositories worldwide, and includes correspondence with many repositories and individuals. This series includes the files of associate editors John Welles Davidson and David W. Hirst, along with some subject files on topics such as the Paris Peace Conference, the Henry Bragdon interviews, and Ray Stannard Baker. Also within this series are reviews of the Papers of Woodrow Wilson, as well as some Woodrow Wilson Foundation records.
Additional administrative material can be found in the Arthur S. Link Papers at the Mudd Manuscript Library.
