Colleagues and former students will reflect on Dr. Miller’s extensive experience and influence in the realms of historical archaeology, architecture, public history, and museums. Papers will also present current interdisciplinary research in the colonial Chesapeake, highlighting Dr. Miller’s career of cultivating disciplinary overlap in the pursuit of significant historical narratives.
