Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library

Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library is a Princeton University archive holding around 42,000 linear feet of materials, including university records, policy papers, and historical documents from different periods. The collection also contains all university dissertations and senior theses along with records from civil rights organizations.

This archive opened in 1976 and was the first university building designed with energy conservation in mind. The project reflected the growing need to house expanding collections while introducing modern building practices.

The collection holds papers on American journalism, law, and economics featuring work by influential figures like John Foster Dulles. Visitors get a sense of the country's intellectual life and major public discussions.

The archive is located on campus and open to researchers who need to arrange visits in advance. Many resources are also available online through the university library website, allowing access from anywhere.

This archive holds the papers of the American Civil Liberties Union, an organization that played a major role in the country's fight for individual rights. This collection makes it a significant research center for civil rights matters.
