Scope and Content

The Collection consists of one series: Writings. The series provides a full chronological overview of Mr. Miner’s extensive writings and educational lectures over a 15 year span. The papers included deal with bar code printing, weather effects on bar codes, computer printed labels and other related topics.

The series' original order has been maintained where applicable and re-created in others to assist researchers more easily. Items housed in acidic or metal housings have been removed from these housings for preservation reasons and have been placed in acid free folders and containers. Photographs have been placed in acid free folders and envelopes, and were left within original series. All metal fasteners have been removed and replaced in accordance with accepted archival standards of preservation.
