Scope and content:

This series contains Dr. Miller's personal papers in regards to the Constitutional Convention of 1967. Important papers included are summaries of legislations, legislative reports, newspaper clippings, correspondence and reports relating to finance for the New York State Constitutional Convention.

The Constitutional Convention of 1967 was the ninth such convention in New York State history. The purpose of the Convention was to eliminate obsolete and confusing provisions and remove unnecessary detail from the extremely lengthy document. New Yorkers ultimately rejected the proposed changes to the Constitution in the 1967 election.

Series 2 begins with Folder 24 in Box 2. There are two bound volumes that are housed within Special Collections, but outside of this collection, pertaining to the New York State Constitutional Convention. See also Summary of Legislation 1966 Packet 1 in Series 3 for related Constitutional Convention information.
