Princeton's Fitzgerald Collections
There are items related to the lives and writings of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald across multiple collections held at both Special Collections Firestone and Special Collections Mudd.
The primary relevant collections at Firestone are the F. Scott Fitzgerald Papers (C0187), the Princeton University Library Collection of F. Scott Fitzgerald Materials (C0188) and the Zelda Fitzgerald Papers (C0183). There is also Fitzgerald material in the Archives of Charles Scribner’s and Sons (C0101). Other collections related to the Fitzgeralds can be found via these online finding aids.
Some material, such as Fitzgerald's corrected first edition of The Great Gatsby, the autograph manuscript of The Great Gatsby and the family scrapbooks are available through the finding aid for the F. Scott Fitzgerald Papers (C0187) as high-quality digital scans, available for public download.
Material related to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s time as a Princeton student can be found within the University Archives at Mudd Library in the Office of the Registrar Records (AC116), the Triangle Club Records (AC122) and the Nassau Literary Review, which has been digitized and is available online via the Papers of Princeton.
A digitized copy of the Fitzgerald's scholastic card can be found in the post "F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Princeton Career and the Triangle Club" located on the University Archives Blog, along with another contextualizing his time as a Princeton student. In addition, two folders of Fitzgerald-related information are found within Undergraduate Alumni Records.
