Accessing the Reading Rooms
Please note: At this time, due to COVID, the Special Collections reading rooms are open on a walk-in basis for members of the Princeton University community who have access to campus buildings and to the general public on a very limited appointment basis. Please see the Access Services page for more information.
Finding Material
The Department of Special Collections has a wide variety of online reference tools that describe its holdings in varying degrees of detail. While these tools take different forms, ranging from descriptive guides to collection- and item-level bibliographic records, their purpose is to describe and, in some cases, digitally reproduce the material in our collections.
