Miller Family Photograph Collection, ca.1880s
2 boxes, 1 oversize envelope (1.25 linear ft.)
Collection number: MS 119
Abstract:
Four generations of the Miller family from Roxbury and Hull, Massachusetts. Includes photographs mounted on twenty-eight sheets of posterboard and 158 slides stored in two slide trays that are comprised of formal and informal family portraits; family businesses; church and business gatherings; a wedding announcement; and postcards from the early 1900s depicting public recreation sites. More recent photographs reveal how the public recreation sites have changed over the years. Robert Parker Miller, a graduate of the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a member of the Miller family, displayed these images in an exhibit entitled "Trying to Live the American Dream" (1986, Wheeler Gallery).
