Henry J. Morgan was a historian, a civil servant, an archivist and a writer. Morgan was appointed to undertake the arrangement and classification of the records of all State records not specifically transferred to other departments. In 1873 Morgan was one of the first government workers to ever be employed as an archivist in Canada. In addition to his work his personal interest in history led to his collecting documents or copies of documents from various families and individuals which dealt with his research area. Along with co-author Lawrence Johnston Burpee he wrote "Canadian Life in Town and Country" published in 1905, and "Types of Canadian Women" (extracts), 1903, by H.J. Morgan
