Read­ers of this blog are used to read­ing timely, infor­ma­tive, and enter­tain­ing news about the col­lec­tions, staff, and events at the See­ley G. Mudd Man­u­script Library.

But, as of today, this blog will change. Don’t worry — we will still bring you the lat­est news cou­pled with tid­bits regard­ing Prince­ton Uni­ver­sity his­tory, but as you can already tell, the look and feel is different.

Thanks to a new ver­sion of Mov­able Type, the blog­ging soft­ware that Princeton’s Office of Infor­ma­tion Tech­nol­ogy sup­ports, you can see our redesigned ban­ner, a search box, and a list­ing of the most recent com­ments across all of our postings.

We’re excited about the changes because the new soft­ware allows us to cre­ate reader polls and gather more sta­tis­tics about which entries are read, data we can use to tai­lor our con­tent to bet­ter serve you, our read­ers. On our end, for­mat­ting has also been made eas­ier, so we hope our entries will appear sharper to the eye.
