Arrangement

Materials were added to PG 23. Four books were removed from the donation and passed along to the subject liaison to see if they were of interest for the main book collections. A few newspaper issues were deaccessioned from the collection due to additional better copies already existing in the Special Collections materials or within the Library.

Acquisition Information

Original materials were found during Special Collections office clean up in 1984. Additional materials were dropped off at the Univeristy of Idaho Library's circulation desk in 2024.

Separated Materials

Four books were removed during processing and passed along to the Subject Liason Librarian for consideration in the main collections.

Related Materials

Related materials can be found in MG 636 (Adolph Miller papers).
