Morris Family Film Clips

Marriott C. Morris (MCM) and his son Elliston Perot Morris Jr. (EPM) produced these film clips predominantly between the 1930s and 1940s.  Film reels include footage taken during family vacations and trips. Other films depict the Morris family homes in Germantown and Morris Jr.’s homes in Tennessee. Later films taken by Morris Jr. feature his wife Anna Sayler Morris’ family.

Copies of the original typewritten list of subjects* were provided by David M. Morris and transcribed by Library Company staff. Click Here to view all transcriptions (PDF).
