Pierce Harris papers, 1908-1969.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145405911

This collection of Pierce Harris's papers is comprised mainly of 45 typed sermons (1956-1957) delivered at First Methodist Church in Atlanta, First Methodist Church Bulletins, and several scrapbooks. The scrapbooks primarily contain clippings of Harris's column in the Atlanta Journal. The scrapbooks have been chronologically arranged, but there is some overlap among the volumes. The earliest scrapbooks contain items dating back to the time of World War II and contain material relevant to that episode in history. Also in the collection are several of Harris's writings, including typescript rough drafts of his unpublished book With Blind Disregard, which was to be an expansion of a series of columns he wrote for the Atlanta Journal in February and March of 1951, the typescript rough drafts of which are also in the collection. The published columns are contained in Scrapbook 8. In addition, the collection contains correspondence, telegrams, church bulletins, and photographs. Of note among the correspondence is a personal letter written by J. Edgar Hoover to Harris (1964 Mar. 4). The collection also includes items that were removed from a scrapbook that appears to have been complied by Madge Harris Henderson, Pierce Harris's daughter.
