THE LIBRARIES The Historical Studies - Social Science Library [Dr. Elliott Shore, Librarian] contains about 100,000 volumes and has subscriptions to about 1,000 journals. The library is strongest in classical studies, ancient history and archaeology, but it contains basic document collections, reference works and important secondary works of scholarship in most fields of history and the social sciences. The journal collection is extensive, and fairly complete back runs exist to the founding of the Institute. The library has occupied its present building since 1964. The Institute's rare book collection, the gift of LessingJ. Rosenwald, consists of about 2,000 volumes on the history of science and was compiled by Herbert M. Evans in the 1930s. The collection, which is housed in a special room, includes numerous first editions of important scientific works in mathematics, astronomy, physics and the life sciences. The Library has an extensive offprint collection that includes offprints received by Professors Kurt Godel, Ernst H. Kantorowicz, Elias Avery Lowe, Millard Meiss and Erwin Panofsky and former visiting member Walther Kirchner. The microfilm collections of the Library include a large selection from Manuscripta, a collection of several thousand fifteenth- to nineteenth-century printed books fi-om the Vatican Library. The Bavarian Academy has given the Institute a microfilm copy of slips prepared for the Tlusaurus Linguae Latinae. The Library has microfilm copies of the papers of Albert Einstein, Kurt Godel and Simone Weil. The Historical Studies - Social Science Library houses the Institute Archives. The papers in the collection date from the 1930s and include official correspondence of the Director's Office, minutes of meetings of the Faculty and the Board of Trustees, miscellaneous correspondence concerning past Faculty members, records of the Electronic Computer Project and other documents. The Archives also include the Institute's extensive photograph collection. The Mathematics - Natural Sciences Library [Momota Ganguli, Librarian] is located on the second floor of Fuld Hall. Its collection of older journals and books is housed in compact shelving on the lower level of the Historical Studies - Social Science Library. Reprints of former members of the School of Natural Sciences are kept in Buildings D and E. The Mathematics - Natural Sciences Library contains about 30,000 volumes [including bound periodicals and monographs] and has subscriptions to approxi- mately 1 90 journals. The areas covered by this collection are pure and applied mathematics, astrophysics and theoretical, particle and mathematical physics.
THE LIBRARIES Both of the Institute's libraries participate in the shared cataloguing system of the Research Libraries Group, which gives Institute scholars computerized access to a database that contains more than fourteen million records. Searches of this database retrieve bibliographic information and identify the location of materials in all participating libraries. Scholars who use the Historical Studies - Social Science Library can also conduct computerized searches in the Avery Art Index, the Eighteenth Century Short Title Catalogue and such indexes as Art Index, Humanities Index and the Social Science Index. All scholars affiliated with the Institute enjoy the same privileges as Princeton University faculty in the Harvey S. Firestone Memorial Library and the nineteen special-subject libraries in the Princeton University Library System and also in the Robert E. Speer Library of the Princeton Theological Seminary. Both Librarians and the Faculties and visiting scholars of all four Schools at the Institute warmly appreciate gifts, too numerous to mention here, of books and articles from former permanent and visiting members of the Institute community. 65
