Why are Princeton files called Princeton files? Nasea, Melissa M 02 Dec 2002 15:23 UTC

We have been asked why Princeton files are called Princeton files. My quick
guess is that either Princeton University was the first user/inventor or an
early large user, but I really don't know. I checked the Serialst archives
but everything there was about using them (or asking about alternatives for
them). Can anyone help?
