acqinfo: label: Provenance
content: Material on reels N583-N583A was lent for microfilming by Miller's daughter, Louise Miller Smith  in 1967 and returned after filming. Portions of the material were later received from Edward Laning in 1972 and refilmed onto reel 376. Laning, who took over from Miller at the Art Students League, presumably received these papers from Elizabeth Dixon and Helen Miller, who had compiled them in preparation for an unrealized book on Miller's teaching methods.
