0.BIO- Intro Section
Scope and Content Note
This subseries includes 11 Microsoft Word documents with photographic inserts dated from 2008 through 2010, (though each chapter could have been originally drafted as early as 2004). Each document is a section for Baer’s eventual autobiography, detailing his childhood, adolescence, family, time in the U.S. Army, working for various companies, and more. Baer envisioned his autobiography to be an interactive document, with videos embedded throughout, occasionally even requiring the use of 3-D glasses for viewing. Photographs, videos, and scanned images of documents are part of each “chapter.” File names were kept as originally named by Baer; page quantities are listed. Some text excerpts appear in German.
