.... the Jay Miller Aviation History Collection, the outgrowth of forty years of intensive private collecting by a former curator at the Humanities Research Center of the University of Texas, and since 1995 maintained by the Central Arkansas Library System in Little Rock, Arkansas. In addition to the six thousand books on flight history are fifty thousand journals, including complete rund of numerous aviation periodicals, and hundreds of operation manuals for aircraft that have not been in production for dozens of years. There also are broadsides, pamphlets, aeronautical charts, aviation art, technical reports, and 650 linear feet of unprocessed manuscript material, scrapbooks, and photographs, altogether an extraordinary archove now available to scholars and students.
