The recordings are arranged alphabetically by title within each grouping. The films are arranged numerically by film number.

Series 3 contains manuscript music, published sheet music, concert programs, newspaper/magazine clippings, and photographs. The manuscript music and published music are arranged separately, alphabetically by composer.

Miller served as head of the Microbiology Department from 1997-2007 and was the founding director of the School of Molecular and Celular Biology. Miller began his undergraduate studies in music at the University of Indiana, where he performed trombone, but switched majors to Chemistry in his junior year and graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1963. He completed his PhD in Biochemistry at Northwestern University in 1968. He was an enthusiastic trombonist throughout his life, playing in amateur orchestras until his arrival at the University of Illinois.

Flat-top acoustic guitar brought back to the U.S. by an American GI after WWII. The GI passed it down to a neighbor who then gave it to Ben Juday at Analog Outfitters, who donated it to the Sousa Archives on Debember 15, 2023. It has a Nazi decal on the headstock, which was presumably applied by the Nazi SS after the guitar was shipped to Europe, while the SS-style fret inlays were presumably installed by the manufacturer. "L 8726 8110" is ink stamped on the inside surface of the guitar back at the sound hole of the guitar.
