Scope and Contents

 

The collection is made up entirely of music programs, most dismantled and pasted onto paper that could be held by a three ring binder. The collection includes some articles and reviews about various stars and performances. Two metal index boxes accompany the collection, providing a chronological index to the concert programs and an alphabetical and chronological index for the theater programs. The numbers in parentheses after the folder titles in the container listing refer to the numbering systems of Mr. Miller's indexes.
