Photographic Materials, circa 1940s-1991, undated

Extent:
4 boxes
Scope and content:

Consists primarily of photographs taken by others and sent to Millett. Formats include prints, slides, and negatives. There are portraits of Millett from a variety of sources. The professional photographers among Millett's acquaintance, including Cynthia MacAdams and Jill Krementz, took a number of photographs of Millett. Photographs most likely taken by Millett include a large number of slides dating from 1980, documenting the same time period as many of the audiotapes in the Audiovisual Materials Series. There are a limited number of snapshots from Millett's childhood and early adulthood.

Some photographs have been removed from correspondence located in other series. In these cases, the original series is identified and as much information as is available is given about the matching correspondence. The series is in chronological order. Oversize photographs can be found in Oversize Materials.
