The collection consists of four photograph albums with black-and-white and color photographs of Haiti taken by Arthur M. Morrissey. Also included are photographs removed from the albums for a Burns Library exhibit in 1995. The photographs were primarily taken in the 1960s and 1970s when Morrissey established a medical clinic in Port-de-Paix after being inspired by an article in the Journal of Ophthalmology. Many of the photographs are accompanied... by a handwritten or typescript note providing a brief description of the image, such as "Country scenes near Port-de-Paix" and "Around the house - boy with Dr. Morrissey." Photographs include landscapes of Haiti, including Port-de-Paix, Coquette, and Tortuga (referenced by its French name, Île de la Tortue), as well as scenes from the clinic where Morrissey worked. Also represented are views of daily life of Haitians, including images of women ironing, children attending First Communion, boatbuilders in Tortuga, and city streetscapes.
