Samuel Brooks Morris papers

This collection contains the papers of Samuel Brooks Morris (1890-1962), a Southern California civil engineer specializing in water issues. The collection deals primarily with Pasadena and Los Angeles engineering concerns, in addition to some California and national issues, largely related to water reclamation, dams, hydrogeology, water litigation, and a wide range of related technical publications. The material consists of a highly diverse mix of manuscripts and printed materials, including correspondence, maps, notes, charts, fliers, and brochures, often interspersed within each folder. The correspondence is primarily to and from colleagues, but also includes discussion with government officials at all levels. The collection includes a small number of photographs.
