The Coale Collection in Stokes Library

The Ansley J. Coale Population Research Collection in the Donald E. Stokes Library is one of the oldest demography libraries in the world. Founded over 40 years ago as a specialized research library for the Office of Population Research, it is now a special library in the Princeton University Library system. The collection is located on the lower level of Wallace Hall and is open to the public.
