(In)Visible History Tours at Princeton

 

Princeton University’s (In)Visible History tours provide a glimpse into the prestigious Ivy League experience and also provide a way for participants to explore the campus in a way that encourages a re-examination of the past and its implications for the present and future.

The tours were initially developed by the Campus Iconography Committee in 2018. The tours offer a guided exploration of the Firsts at Princeton, Traditions at Princeton, Women at Princeton, African Americans at Princeton, and Asians and Asian Americans at Princeton. The tours focus on aspects of Princeton’s history that have been less frequently discussed but have significantly contributed to shaping the campus and its community into what it is today. 

Users can access the tours via mobile devices or personal computers, allowing individuals or groups to take a self-guided walking tour on campus or follow the audio tour remotely.

Each tour stop features multimedia elements, including audio, images and videos, that enhance the storytelling and provide a richer understanding of the narratives featured.
