40°20′59″N 74°39′07″W / 40.3496°N 74.6520°W / 40.3496; -74.6520 The Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library is the institutional archives of Princeton University and is part of the Princeton University Library's department of special collections. The Mudd Library houses two major collection areas: the history of Princeton and the history of twentieth century public policy.

The Mudd Library was designed by Hugh Stubbins and cost $2.5 million at the time of its construction. It was the first building to be designed under the University's energy conservation program and was dedicated on October 16, 1976.^[1]^[2] Its creation was supported by the Seeley G. Mudd Foundation. The Library currently holds 42,000 linear feet of archived material.^[3] The building underwent a significant infrastructure renovation in 2020-21, in which the original HVAC, fire suppression, electrical, security, and plumbing systems were modernized, and a number of alterations to the first floor plan led to the creation of an additional seminar room.
