The Woodrow Wilson Additional Materials have been maintained in the order that they were acquired except for oversize materials, which are in Box 2 and Cabinet 6, Drawer 4. Materials are added to the end of this collection as they are accessioned.

FOR DIGITIZED CONTENT: The first seventeen items have been digitized and may be viewed or downloaded through this finding aid. To view materials, navigate to the folder title.

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.

This is an unprocessed collection. The contents list provided is a preliminary inventory.

A copy of Wilson's "Princeton for the Nation's Service" speech and some materials related to the 2002 exhibition on Wilson at Princeton University Library were removed from accession ML.2016.012 because they duplicated materials found in other Mudd Library collections.

Materials from accession ML.2016.012 related to Jessie Wilson Sayre were separated and added to the Jessie Wilson Sayre Collection.
