Princeton University. Bureau of Urban Research

The Bureau of Urban Research was formed at Princeton University in 1941 to establish source material for research in the field of Urban Studies. The Bureau had three major goals, these being the coordination of information and research, the creation of original research, and providing assistance to students interested in the field. In pursuit of these ends the Bureau of Urban Research created a research library of urban studies materials as well as published scholarly periodical, "The Urban Reference." In 1967 the Bureau of Urban Research merged with the newly created Research Center for Urban and Environmental Planning.
