This series comprises annotated books from Morrison's library, loose material found within them, and photocopies from books where the annotations were not extensive enough to warrant keeping the entire book. There are letters from Jean Halton found in her daughter Kathleen Tynan's "The Life of Kenneth Tynan" and in Matthew Halton's "Ten Years to Alamein". His copy of "Low's Russian Sketchbook" (London 1932) includes annotations which reflect his own experiences of his tour of the Soviet Union in the same year. William Stevenson's "A Man Called Intrepid" is inscribed and signed by Sir William Stephenson. Many of the annotated volumes relate to the lives and work of journalists like Alice Frick, Jack Peach, Matthew Halton, Greg Clark, Beverley Baxter, and others. Another annotated book is a biography of his former boss, Lowell Yerex, titled "Yerex of TACA: A Kiwi Conquistador" (vol. 13, file 10); affixed inside is a snapshot of Morrison with Yerex's sister Keelah King (nee Yerex).
