Milton Morris - Scrapbooks stay at ‘home’

From the Maitland Mercury report:
Flip open any page in one of about a dozen scrapbooks kept during Milton Morris’s almost 25 years as the Liberal Maitland MP and there is a snapshot of the city.
There’s a picture of a young Mr Morris jumping into Maitland Pool for charity and riding a camel along Church Street.
For as much as the yellowed pages filled with press clippings from the Maitland Mercury, the national papers and beyond document Mr Morris’s distinguished political career, they also tell of what life was like in Maitland in the era he represented the city in parliament.
Mr Morris could not be happier that the material will be permanently shelved at Maitland Library, in the electorate that returned him as its parliamentary representative nine times.
