Juanita and Henry S. Miller Jr. papers. 1932-1999

http://www.lib.utexas.edu/taro/smu/00037/00037-P.html

This collection contains the papers of Juanita Miller and her husband, Henry S. Miller, Jr. The Millers were active in arts, civic, and social activities in Dallas. Mr. Miller was a Dallas real estate and insurance businessman. The company he oversaw, Henry S. Miller Companies, founded by his father in 1914, grew from a small one-man office into one of the largest real estate services corporations in the United States and the largest in Texas. Most of these papers in this collection do not relate to his business activities. Rather, they mostly concern his and his wife's civic pursuits and interests in Dallas, specifically on arts-related issues, such as the Dallas Opera and Dallas Symphony. The collection also includes civic, political and business correspondence, and personal letters and other documents from both of the Millers' service during World War II. Many of the newspaper articles concern the social and civic activities of Juanita Miller from the 1950s to the 1990s. The first several series of the collection are arranged by topic; the final series, comprised of newspaper articles, is arranged chronologically by year.
