The collection further documents his work to mobilize the Irish vote in support of Bill Clinton during the 1992 presidential campaign through the group Irish-Americans for Clinton/Gore as well as other issues relating to Ireland and the Irish people. Morrison kept in close contact with other members of the Americans for a New Irish Agenda (ANIA), though they were located all around the United States. Contact was maintained primarily through faxes and letters. Fax cover sheets have been saved only when they contain useful or necessary information regarding the fax’s contents, or a message to/from Morrison with various prominent correspondents. In regard to the Northern Irish Peace Process, various resources focus upon outgoing and incoming correspondence to and from Bruce Morrison, or copies of correspondence between other parties sent to him for reference purposes.
