How do I access the F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald Papers in Special Collections?
There are items related to the lives and writings of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald across multiple collections held at both Special Collections Firestone and Mudd.
In particular, material related to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s time as a Princeton student can be found at Mudd Library in the Office of the Registrar Records (AC116), the Triangle Club Records (AC122) and the Nassau Literary Review, which has been digitized and is available online via the Papers of Princeton.
A digitized copy of the Fitzgerald's scholastic card can be found in the post "F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Princeton Career and the Triangle Club" located on the Mudd Manuscript Library Blog.
The primary relevant collections at Firestone are the F. Scott Fitzgerald Papers (C0187), the F. Scott Fitzgerald Additional Papers (C0188) and the Zelda Fitzgerald Papers (C0183). There is also material in the Archives of Charles Scribner’s and Sons (C0101).
Some material, such as the corrected first edition of The Great Gatsby, the autograph manuscript of The Great Gatsby and the family scrapbooks are available through the finding aid sites as high quality digital scans, available for public download. Some material has been digitized and added to an online portfolio and the Princeton University Digital Library.
