Other InformationThe institution was founded in 1746 as the College of New Jersey; its first library was opened in 1750; the name of the institution was changed in 1896 to Princeton University, so the library had this formal name only since then. A significant portion of the incunabula in the library is held in the collection formed by the Scheide family, and bequeathed to the University by William H. Scheide, which continues to be known as the Scheide Library.
