SUMMARY:Archival Adventures: Joe Miller Collection
DESCRIPTION:It's time for an adventure! This week we're heading back to the 
 1980/1990s as we explore the Joe Miller Collection. Miller is best known as 
 a pioneer in the implementation of the barcode system of inventory control 
 in the retail environment. After serving in the Navy during World War II\, 
 he worked for Thalhimer's Department Stores in Richmond\, Virginia\, where 
 he helped create a computerized inventory system. Years later\, he became 
 director of retail standards and technology for the National Retail 
 Merchants Association (now the National Retail Federation) where he worked 
 to implement barcode use in retail stores. You can learn more about the 
 collection in the finding aid here:

 livestream on Twitch! Every week we explore and discuss materials from 
 Special Collections and University Archives covering topics including
