Princeton has created unique call nos. for artists so that all works on an artist/architect/corporate body sit together on the shelf, at least in Marquand and a few other locations (not so for art books in other Princeton libraries). The "Princeton Artist File" was an outgrowth of the locally-modified N schedule. For further questions about it, feel free to contact me directly. Best, Rebecca Rebecca K.
