The Morgan Collection is more than 10 linear feet and primarily covers 1880-1920. The materials are a variety of official/congressional documents and more personal material. Morgan’s previous experience as a land agent resulted in his continued interest in land law and farm mortgages, as demonstrated by the collection of his writings and legislation related to it. His scrapbooks are filled with clippings related to prominent issues and campaigns in Oklahoma and nationally, including debates about tariffs and World War I.
