Orla B. Miles notebooks

Identifier: 2004-024

Staff Only

Scope and Contents

The collection consists of 21 stenographers notebooks and one ledger style notebook. Most are in poor condition, with faded writing on covers or missing covers altogether. Most are undated. Most of the notebooks have been written from both ends, so that at a certain point the writing seems upside down, containing more than one subject. An attempt has been made to ascertain if one subject is more prominent than the others, and the notebook is thus labeled. When legible, faculty names have been added.
