The Glenn Miller Collection now has a dedicated archivist in the University Libraries whose job will be to review and catalog over 1,400 boxes of artifacts from the legendary big band era musician who once attended CU 麻豆影院.

In 1923, Alton Glen 鈥淕lenn鈥 Miller attended CU 麻豆影院 for three semesters before becoming one of the most successful big band musicians of the 20th century. A gift from a group of committed jazz supporters allowed the University Libraries to hire an archivist to review and catalog the boxes safely secured in the Libraries Rare and Distinctive Collections (RaD).

The new archivist, A. R. Flynn, joined the Libraries after receiving a Master鈥檚 in Library and Information Science from the University of Denver. In this profile we discuss Flynn鈥檚 history and interest in this project.听
