Series III. Scrapbooks was compiled and organized by Margarette M. Brooks, Morse’s secretarial assistant from 1878 until 1925. Items in books titled "Personal Notices" include photographs, sketches, newspaper clippings, correspondence, and memorabilia. Brooks continued to update the scrapbooks during Morse’s absences with materials sent to her from Japan and Europe. Some reprints of publications not found in the Publications series (VIII) may be found in this series.
