This series was probably begun to collect items of general interest that happened after 1950. It only contains one file which is a report of the ordination of an Aeltester for the Chortitzer Mennonite Conference in 1964.
This series reflects further developments amoung the Mennonites in Manitoba, particularly in Steinbach, that happened between 1925 and 1950 -- publications such as the Mennonitische Volkswarte, the establishment of the Bethesda Hospital or the work of Kindergarten teacher, Anna Vogt.
This series includes a sampling of items that come from the first quarter of the 20th century -- a teacher's contract, a military exemption record for World War I, recollections about the 1918 pandemic, and others.

Materials pertaining to his self-published book, "Walks and Talks in Hindustan" (1963) and other literary endeavors, most of which pertain to Kaufman's work as a missionary in India.
Materials in this series not only contain the Resslers' accounts of their experiences in India, but also document Jacob Andrews Ressler's teaching career prior to his missionary service. Later articles written for church periodicals discuss a variety of topics.
This series consists of audio recordings of regular worship services, special service and programs. Many of them have the name of Peter I. Friesen written on them, presumably because he collected them as church historian.
