Diaries

This series consists primarily of Silas Hertzler's diaries, which contain detailed entries about his daily activities. Silas's diaries span the years 1904 to 1974, with a gap only for one year (1911). Silas Hertzler kept separate diaries of trips and other special events, and a number of these may be found in this series as well. By contrast, this series contains only one diary kept by Anna Weaver Hertzler, for the year 1962. Researchers should note that this series contains Silas Hertzler's diaries during his period of service with Near East Relief under the American Friends Service Committee (1919-1920).

Amish Christian Church Materials

A hodgepodge of materials related to Lores’ exploration of the Amish Christian Church, including correspondence with its members, church materials, genealogies, and other materials.

Publications

This series includes copies of The Christian Nurse, the journal of the Mennonite Nurses' Association. The Christian Nurse, originally published under the title Mennonursing, was for many years an independent publication. In 1958, it was subsumed under Mennonite Hospitals and Homes , and in 1960, under Mennonite Health and Welfare Horizons. In 1963, it returned as an independent publication, only to again be subsumed by Mennonite Medical Messenger in 1970. The Christian Nurse is now published as part of the Mennonite Health Journal. The archives does not have a complete set of the Christian Nurse. Researchers should consult the Mennonite Historical Library for missing issues. Other materials in this series include the association newsletter, brochures, administrative records pertaining to The Christian Nurse, and editorial correspondence and collected stories used in the 1991 book, The Gift of Presence: Stories that Celebrate Nurses Serving in the Name of Christ, edited by Beth Landis.
