This is a scanned selection of the print-based archive at Michigan State University, selected as the most relevant by Miller himself. The scanned portion comprises roughly 1,500 pages of the 12,000 page archive, and is composed of Miller’s research notes, analyses of witchcraft problems, case studies, missionary and police reports, court cases, government documents, district officer investigations, and Miller’s unpublished draft manuscripts.

Bantu | behavior |
Christian/Christianity | definition (of witchcraft) |
economics | evil |
fear system | history |
moral panic | politics |
prehistory | psychology |
religion | traditional medicine |
