Poetry

This records series documents Milliken's personal life and is arranged alphabetically by document type. About one quarter of Milliken's personal papers consists of three drafts of his book, tentatively called Stories Behind the Museum Collection, which was never published (see box 50). The remainder is a miscellany of Christmas cards, personal correspondence, souvenir books, poems, jottings, sketches, and other materials.

Researchers should be aware that personal papers and memorabilia comprise most of the two collections housed with the Archives of American Art and the Western Reserve Historical Society. Inventories of materials held in those repositories are available in the museum's archives. A microfilm copy of Milliken's papers in the Archives of American Art can also be viewed in the Ingalls Library.
