Inside the Glenn Miller Collections
The Glenn Miller collections are housed within the American Music Research Center’s collections at the University of Colorado Boulder Libraries’ Rare & Distinctive Collections. For all questions about these collections or to make an appointment to view materials from the collections in the Libraries’ Rare & Distinctive Collections Reading Room in Norlin Library, please contact rad@colorado.edu.

Beginning in February 2024, the University Libraries are embarking on a two-year project to process and make accessible all materials in the Glenn Miller collections. Detailed information about these collections will become available during this project on ArchivesSpace, the Libraries’ database of finding aids, or guides, to its archival collections.

The famous Glenn Miller Ballroom was dedicated in September 1953. Glenn's mother Mattie Lou Miller and sister Irene Miller Wolfe attended the dedication. A renovation of the ballroom was completed in 2014 with a new look, sound system and other features. The handsome and modernized facility, teh largest of its kind in Boulder, serves many purposes for the CU community, including an attractive wall honoring Glenn Miller, which is worth a visit for anyone interested in Glenn Miller.
