The bulk of the materials span the 1950s and 1960s, and include materials relating to courses he taught, administrative duties he performed both as a member of the political science department and conducting the work of the Survey Research Center, and research he conducted. The collection is arranged into four series: Biographical/ Personal (1956-1976); Education (1950-1954); University of Michigan (1955-1980); and Correspondence (1954-1967)
The Education series, approximately 0.1 linear feet, includes materials relating to Miller's own education. It includes materials relating to the completion of his doctoral thesis at Syracuse University, as well as materials relating to courses Miller completed at the University of Michigan in the summer of 1950, including notes, exams, and study materials/syllabus information.
The University of Michigan series, approximately 2.55 linear feet, is comprised of four subseries, Course Materials, Administrative files, Requests for Funds, and Conferences/Meetings which together give insight into Miller's various commitments, responsibilities, and activities at the university.
The Course Materials subseries is ordered numerically by course number and then chronologically by term and year taught (if available), and includes materials such as syllabi, assigned reading lists, exams, assignments, and miscellaneous materials used in the teaching of the course. Materials cover classes taught from 1957 to 1980.
