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.

The material in this collection contains one item. It is a copy and of Harder's account of being arrested, interrogated and deemed guilty of spying in August 1920. He was led away to be disposed of when riders came and gave new orders to turn around and report to the officer in charge.

The material in this collection contains publications by Harms and material written about Harms after his death.

The records in this collection deal with Horch's music teaching career. There are basically two kinds of material. The first are records of students and payment for lessons, and the second, music with arrangements for stringed instruments. The arrangements or transcriptions appear to be done by Horch. The arrangements and transcriptions are difficult to date because there are no marks on the material that hint at a date. The earliest material consists of published music and the later material consists of transcriptions and student records.
