Series 4: Notes and Writings , circa 1891-1970, undated
(Box 3; 1.0 linear ft.; Reels 5904-5906)

Millet's murals and paintings were noted for the historical accuracy of their costumes and period details. Many of the notes from his extensive research are recorded in eleven undated copybooks, titled for easy reference. Additional volumes of notes by Millet concern 17th century Italian art, Bulgarian history and costume (probably from his student days in Antwerp since it is in French), and the Philippines, compiled circa 1898-1899.

Writings by Millet consist of manuscripts of published and unpublished articles and short stories, and texts of lectures and speeches. Writings about Millet are by relatives. "Frank D. Millet: A Versatile American," by niece Hilda Millet Booth and son John A. P. Millet, is accompanied by notes, drafts, and related correspondence. "In Search of an Ancestor," by granddaughter Joyce A. Sharpey-Schafer, was published in 1984 as Frank D. Millet: Soldier of Fortune, 1846-1912. A copy of the book is included with Series 6.

This series is arranged into 4 subseries:

4.1: Notes by F. D. Millet, 1872-circa 1899, undated
4.2: Writings by F. D. Millet, circa 1891-1910, undated
