The photographs and video depict MCC workers, Russian refugees, Chinese orphanage workers, distribution of supplies by MCC workers, and daily life in China.

Arnold C. Schultz Papers

US BCMLA 00/MS.311
Collection
1874-1970

The Arnold Schultz papers are in a rather jumbled condition, but have been kept in their original order and with the original folder labels. Some folders were unlabelled. Others had only partially legible labels; these are marked with a (?). A few folders contain material other than what is mentioned on the label. The papers consist primarily of material on the history of the Evangelical Mennonite Brethren and on the family history of Arnold Schultz's ancestors. The most significant part of the EMB material relates to the settlement and early church disputes of Henderson, Nebraska, and Mountain Lake, Minnesota. There are a good number of original documents, including papers relating to the H. C. Bartel mission in China, the memoirs of Gerhard Klassen (born in Prussia and died in the United States), papers relating to Isaac Peters (an early leader at Henderson, Nebraska), and a set of "German documents from Culm" (probably relating to Schultz genealogy).
