“…The original collections were joined by the papers of James Forrestal, Allen W. Dulles, Raymond B. Fosdick, Adlai Stevenson, and many other seminal figures in twentieth-century public policy. 2 Today the Firestone Library at Princeton houses approximately 750 manuscript collections, and 180 are preserved in the Mudd Library. The strengths of the Firestone collections are medieval and Islamic manuscripts; English and American literature, including the Morris L. Parrish Collection of Victorian Novelists, and the papers of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Booth Tarkington, and others; and American publishing history.…”

The development of the manuscript collections of Princeton and Rutgers reflects the differing histories of the two universities. Princeton developed a research collection partially based on the areas of academic strengths of its university departments, augmented by the gifts of alumni, private collectors, and purchases. In contrast, Rutgers, as the state university, developed a strong regional collection. Princeton acquired New Jersey materials as well, in many cases through faculty and alumni or by virtue of its location, rather than through conscious effort. Although the New Jersey materials at Princeton are not as well known or as frequently used as other parts of the collection, they include valuable materials, some of which are complementary to collections at Rutgers which are heavily used by research scholars, students, local historians, and genealogists. The reasons why Princeton and Rutgers acquired these collections can be understood by looking at the history of the collecting policies of the two institutions.
