The Abram J. Dick fonds consists mostly of materials not created by Dick. Much of the family history and genealogy is photocopied from another source. The songs, poetry, and plays were probably copied for Dick's work in his leadership role in the Sunday School. The music is written in Ziffern and many of the textual materials are in the German Gothic script. Many of the published pamphlets appear to have been collected for Sunday School presentations. Others are of a devotional nature.

This collection contains one item. It is a transcript of an interview done by Harold Jantz with David D. Durksen. Durksen's experience in Russia with education, and the forestry service, as well as early years in Canada are recorded. The material is all in German, and the transcript is typed.

The material in this collection consists of the typed copy describing Dyck's journey to Turkestan, and clippings from the Mennonitische Rundschau where the report was published. Obituaries, a pedigree chart, and photocopy of the front page of a book written about Dyck is also in the collection. Almost all the material is in German.

This series contains Russian language documents including deeds, property plans/maps, and financial records that belonged to the Jacob Fehderau and Maria Bahnmann family. These records document the land and property owned by the family and extended family. Also included are maps and financial records. Jacob Fehderau wrote two diaries from 1917-1919, which are included.

The Abram A. Friesen fonds consists of photocopied correspondence, most of it between Friesen and David Toews of Rosthern, Saskatchewan. The correspondence relates to the Board of Colonization but is also of a personal nature. The letters are typed, and are predominantly in the German language.

The material in this fonds consists of a diary written by Gerhard P. Froese when he was in the Forestei (Alternative service forestry camp in Russia) and five books of memoirs, all written in German. A copy of the English translation of the memoirs entitled Memoirs by Gerhard P. Froese was also donated and placed in the archives' library.

This fonds consists of one folder (33 pages) of personal memoirs, and genalogical information that ranges from 1799-1929. It is written in the Gothic German script, by Peter S. Funk.

The material in this collection has been brought together at various times. It consists primarily of articles that Goertz has written about Mennonites in Prussia from the late 1600s to the early 1900s such as immigration lists, church records, and baptisms. A small portion of the material is about his own life in Prussia and the United States. Most of the material is in German; however because of the nature of the material, knowledge of German is not essential to use these documents. There is also one audio cassette of a presentation, "Tracing Mennonite Roots in Prussian and Eastern Europe", given at a Genealogy and Family History Seminar that was sponsored by the Manitoba Mennonite Historical Society.

This series consists of sermons, sermon notes and an index card box of sermons delivered by Peter Hamm while in Ontario, BC, Manitoba, and India

This series consists of memoirs, obituaries, village histories, correspondence and genealogical data as it relates to Peter Hamm's family. Names included are Hamm, Warkentin, and Reimer. Also included is Hamm's autobiography Reflections on my Journey, a descendant genealogy wheel chart of Martin Hamm (1742-1806) and a travelogue written by Martin Hamm and published in the Mennonitische Rundschau. The two photographs are of the Schönauer choir in 1913 and a photo of Martin Hamm in 1966.
