The second sub-series, folders 17-19, consists of musician's union publications that belonged to Miller and Abel. Among them are wage scales, directories, and constitutions and bylaws, ranging in date from 1958-1968. Also included in this series is a small amount of material from the Women's Jazz Festival, for which Abel served as a board member. The third sub-series, folders 20-22, consists of larger miscellaneous items such as inscribed/autographed material, radio scripts, handwritten notes, check stubs, receipts, schedules, flyers and posters, and various publications including an inscribed copy of Soul Calendar, by Carroll Jenkins. The fourth sub-series includes a separate binder labeled "Miscellaneous Ephemera" which consists of musicians' union cards, business cards, ticket stubs, matchbooks, cocktail napkins with inscriptions and sketches, postcards, song request cards, and other small ephemera. Also part of this sub-series is a Miller/Abel scrapbook with photos, clippings and other ephemera.
