This series consists of files relating to Eric Morse's books, articles, and other publications; involvement in the designation and marking of historic sites; portage and canoe route investigations; and more general research on canoeing and the fur trade. It includes manuscripts of his articles "Fresh Water Northwest Passage" for the "Canadian Geographical Journal" and "Was this Hearne's Thelewy-Aza-Yeth?" for "The Beaver" and speaking notes on the role of national parks. Correspondence with various government departments relating to historic sites and markers documents his lengthy campaign to have the historic canoe routes and portages of the "Voyageurs' Highway" preserved and commemorated with plaques or road signs. Morse conducted extensive research to identify the original canoe routes and portages used by the early explorers and voyageurs. There are files of route investigations for the channels and portages of the French River, portages at North Bay, Kaministikwia River - Dog Lake route, Michipicoten River route, Boundary Falls portage, Allumette Rapids portage on the Ottawa River, and the Second Chaudiere portage at Ottawa. Some of his correspondents in this series include A.R.M. Lower, W. Kaye Lamb, Donald F. McOuat, and Calvin Rutstrum, among others.
