This series contains papers pertaining to Dr. Miller's days as both a student and a professor at Harvard University and the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. Important papers include lecture notes, unpublished political science papers from significant scholars, teaching materials, copies of exams, case studies, syllabi, and reprints of published articles used for research. Courses which he taught include Public Administration, Public Budgeting, Federal Budgeting, Administrative and Fiscal Budget, Fiscal Policy, and Army Comptrollership School classes. Many documents contained in "undated" folders refer to material that was not authored by Dr. Miller, but presumably used for instruction in his courses. Some folders contain case studies that may have been used in course instruction. Not all dates are inclusive. Series 1 ends in Box 2 with Folder 23.

Contains materials about Kennedy's first novel The Ink Truck, initially published in 1969 and then re-issued in 1984 following his success with Ironweed and his receiving the MacArthur Foundation's Genius Award. The novel details the last days of an unsuccessful newspaper strike and is very loosely based on Kennedy's experiences during a newspaper strike in Albany in the mid-1960s. The series includes multiple manuscript drafts, author's notes, book reviews, galleys, publisher agreements and correspondence, and advertising. Please note that the overall series dates are not inclusive.

The first series in the Fausold Collection consists of interviews conducted by Fausold for the Oral History of SUNY project from 1988 to 1997. Fausold's colleague Wayne Mahood, a Distinguished Professor of Education at SUNY Geneseo, helped conduct some of the interviews as did others. The archivist noted interviews not conducted by Fausold in the inventory below as well as the titles held by the interviewees in the SUNY System or within New York State government. This series includes both the recorded interviews on audio cassettes as well as paper transcripts. A small number of interviews, however, are not transcribed. A majority of the interviews transcribed feature multiple versions, as both Fausold and the interviewee edited them. Interview files typically contain interview transcriptions, a clearance form signed by the interviewee, and background information. Fausold kept lists of interviewees, potential interviewees, and the status of each interview.
