Morrisite Collection, 1865-1975.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/154298286

Books, pamphlets, revelations, correspondence, research notes. Since many converts were Danish the records of the Omaha and Council Bluffs organization are in Danish. These books were photocopied by Anderson from the originals still in private hands. Of special interest is the George Jansen journal which includes some correspondence and revelations hitherto unrecorded, in Danish. The collection is completed by Anderson's notes and research into the Morrisite factions and their leaders.
