- 1931-1985
The Jacob and Emilie Reimer fonds consists of correspondence from Russia to Canada between 1931 and 1975. There is a gap between 1941 and 1947 as well as between 1947 and 1956, possibly because of World War II and the communist regime. The letters are in the German language, many in the Gothic script. Jacob Reimer wrote forty of these letters and sent them to his daughter Tina. After his death, these letters were sent to Tina's siblings in Canada. Most of the letters in this fonds are written to the children of Jacob and Emilie Reimer, Mia, Anna, and David. Some are from their parents, Jacob and Emilie, but many are from their sisters Hulda and Kaethe, and their niece Anni. One file of letters is written in Canada between 1955 and 1985, probably from or to members of the extended Reimer family.
