Although located adjacent to Princeton University, the two are not, and have not been, directly affiliated. Until 2010, the David Sarnoff Research Center housed important exhibits and archives dating from the RCA years.
In 2010, the Sarnoff Corporation transferred off-site the David Sarnoff Library [3], a museum highlighting the important work which occurred at the facility over many years, and the important role of longtime RCA leader and labs namesake David Sarnoff as the impresario and entrepreneur bringing broadcast radio and television to North America. Exhibits associated with this library are transitioned to nearby facilities at The College of New Jersey.[4]
Separately, also in 2010, archival RCA documents pertaining to the history of industrial innovation are transitioned to the Center for the History of Business, Technology, and Society at the Hagley Library in Wilmington, DE.[5]
To date, two historic technology developments among many that took place at Sarnoff Corporation's David Sarnoff Research Center in Princeton, NJ have been recognized by the IEEE History Center[6] Milestone Program[7]. These two are the 1946-1953 invention of Monochrome-Compatible Electronic Color Television[8] and the 1968 invention of the Liquid Crystal Display[9].
