8.3: Dorothy Miller, 1904-1994

The subseries consists of material on Charlton's films about Dorothy Miller, the influential first curator of the Museum of Modern Art, and contains important research material on Miller's curatorial work. Included is correspondence, exhibition catalogs, annual reports, printed material, a scrapbook about the film, and photographic material, including images of Miller.
There are also 6 sound tape reels and 1 sound cassette. Several reels are edited versions of the Alfred Barr recording of "Kiesler's Galaxy" that are also found in the Kiesler subseries. However, these particular recordings were used in the Dorothy Miller film.
The folders in this subseries are grouped together by document type, then arranged chronologically within each grouping.
