The Mudd Man­u­script Library is pleased to join Rare Books and Spe­cial Col­lec­tions and the Mar­quand Library in the new online reg­is­tra­tion and requesting services.

All new and return­ing Mudd Library patrons will need to reg­is­ter in this new man­ner (unless they have already reg­is­tered online for access to the Rare Books and Spe­cial Col­lec­tions or the Mar­quand Library).  We encour­age researchers who are plan­ning a first time or repeat visit to the Uni­ver­sity Archives or Pub­lic Pol­icy Papers to reg­is­ter in advance of their visit, though you are wel­come to do so onsite.

The new ser­vices allow researchers to pre-register online for a research account and place pag­ing requests online via the EAD Find­ing Aids, the Main Cat­a­log, and the library’s new dis­cov­ery tool,  SearchIt@Princeton. Research accounts also pro­vide researchers with a per­ma­nent record of items consulted.

Please note: Researchers not affil­i­ated with Prince­ton Uni­ver­sity who do not have an Spe­cial Col­lec­tions Photo ID card will need to visit the Access Office before enter­ing the Mudd read­ing room. The Access Office is located in the Main Lobby of the Fire­stone Library (# 5 on map). Cur­rent Prince­ton stu­dents, fac­ulty, and staff do not need to visit the Access Office. Sim­ply present a valid Uni­ver­sity photo ID upon arrival at the Mudd Library.

Dur­ing the aca­d­e­mic year, we are open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., Mon­day through Fri­day. Sum­mer hours are 8:45 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., Mon­day through Friday.

Prince­ton Uni­ver­sity Library is pleased to announce new online reg­is­tra­tion and request­ing ser­vices for schol­ars plan­ning to visit the spe­cial col­lec­tions read­ing rooms of the Fire­stone Library and Mar­quand Library of Art and Archae­ol­ogy. The new ser­vices allow researchers to pre-register online for a research account and place pag­ing requests online via the Main Cat­a­log and EAD Find­ing Aids.  Research accounts also pro­vide researchers with a per­ma­nent record of items con­sulted.  Upcom­ing enhance­ments will include imple­men­ta­tion at the See­ley G. Mudd Man­u­script Library and the East Asian Library & Gest Col­lec­tion, as well as inte­gra­tion into the new library dis­cov­ery fea­ture, SearchIt@PUL.
