The Barry Morse International Fan Club was an organization honoring actor and director Barry Morse that was created and organized by Vivian Stanley.

The group published a monthly newsletter entitled Morse Code and was in existence from 1977 to 2008. Later in the club's history, the newsletter was printed and distributed on a periodic basis.

The group was officially authorized and sanctioned by Morse.

The newsletter covered all aspects of Morse's career including television, film, stage, and radio productions. It carried information about his work, personal appearances, and often included news clippings from newspapers and magazines.

Morse himself would occasionally write letters or send audio recordings detailing his current and future projects which were reproduced in the periodical.

Stanley's initial letter concerning the formation of the club appeared in ComLoC:

"I've noticed in reading ComLoC that a lot of people loved Victor. Well, I'm a great fan of Barry Morse too and would like to hear from other fans. Also, anyone interested in helping with or joining a Barry Morse/Victor Bergman fan club?"[1]

Stanley, also editor of the newsletter, was based in Calgary, Jasper, and various other locales in Alberta, Canada during her tenure as President of the club.
