Biographical History
Frederick Walter Miller, naturalist, served the Colorado Museum of Natural History (CMNH) as a mammalogist for nineteen years before becoming the first director of the Dallas Museum of Natural History in 1936. While at the CMNH (now the Denver Museum of Nature & Science), Miller in 1925-1926 and in 1928 was in charge of expeditions to South America. The first expedition saw the Museum party return to Denver with more than 1,200 specimens of South American wildlife. Through these journeys and his day-to-day work as Curator of Mammalogy, Miller gained extensive experience in collecting, preserving, mounting and installing natural history museum exhibits of all kinds. Jesse Figgins, director of the CMNH and Miller's father-in-law, in a letter responding to Miller's resignation to direct the Dallas museum, praised his "constant loyalty" and "the scientific niceties" of his work. Miller directed the Dallas Museum from 1935 to 1964. He died in 1970 in Denver.
