Summary:The collection consists of microfilm containing approximately eighty-five letters to Morrill and a few written by him, Congressional bills, acts, and speeches (some in the form of hand-corrected proof), notes, clippings, and pamphlets made or retained by Morrill, and contemporary clippings about him and his work, together with scattered manuscripts relating to his personal life in Vermont. The period covered is predominately that of his public life (1855-1898), with emphasis on his years of service as U.S. senator from Vermont (1867-1898). Also covered (in thirty-five letters especially) is the period (1851-1854) just preceding his election to Congress
