The Abraham A. Unruh fonds consists of sermons and teaching notes, typed in the English language, relating to his missionary work in India and letters to and from A.H. Unruh pertaining to the Board of Reference and Counsel of the Canadian Conference of MB Churches. The letters are now located with the Reference and Counsel collection. This fonds documents well the transition that Mennonite Brethren missionaries faced when policies changed from leading dependent mission churches to fostering indigenous churches. Reports, minutes, and correspondence show the changes that missionaries faced and their responses to those changes. The CMBS tape collection holds two tapes of A.A. Unruh speaking to the family upon the 50th anniversary of their coming to Canada (1975). The photographs are of missionaries from the Mennonite Brethren Church in Russia.
