Family papers include correspondence, writings, personal business records, photographic material, and genealogies relating to Miller's paternal (Miller) and maternal (Canning) relatives. The bulk of the family papers relate to Miller's father, Arthur Barrett Miller, an architect and engineer for the Walter B. Kidde Company and resident of Montclair, New Jersey. Upon retirement, Miller worked for John D. Rockefeller on his estate in Tarrytown, New York. Also found here are a few items of correspondence with Dorothy C. Miller as a child.
