By Nancy Kuhl

The Beinecke Library has acquired an autograph manuscript diary and scrapbook that documents a trip to Nova Scotia trip by Richard A. Miller and Janet Miller, with their children David and Meredith, from Glastonbury, Connecticut, to Nova Scotia, 1978 July 30-August 13 (GEN MSS 1133).

Brief diary entries describe travel by car and camping in Maine, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia; visits to historic sites and museums; and residence at a farm in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. The scrapbook contains maps, correspondence, postcards, and other ephemera. The scrapbook is in a Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse Club Scrapbook (Racine, Wisconsin: Western Publishing Company, c1947).

Gift of Richard A. Miller and Janet Miller, 2014.
