The University of Colorado's extensive archive of 1930s and 1940s big band-era great Glenn Miller has received its second major gift in the past two years with the addition of artifacts from former band member Paul Tanner.

A trombonist with Glenn Miller's civilian orchestra from 1938 to 1942, Tanner developed the Electro-Theremin, which he played on the Beach Boys song "Good Vibrations."

In 2007, CU received a substantial collection from the estate of the late Richard March, a member of the Glenn Miller Society in England.

The Miller archive was created in 1969.
