This fonds contains photocopied originals and typed transcripts of the diaries, poetry and other writings of Anna Baerg. Clara K. Dyck transcribed the diaries and some of the other writings, and also provided some interpretive commentary. The diaries, which include the years 1916-1926, and 1959, detail the every day life experiences of a young woman in a Mennonite community in Russia during the years of war, revolution, and civil war and a little bit of her subsequent life in Canada.

This fonds includes correspondence between William Baerg with colleagues and friends. Many of these correspondences are between Baerg and the Mennonite Brethren Bible College (MMBC), Peabody Institute, and the University of Manitoba. Programs, reviews, articles, and photographs of Winnipeg Singers, Bach Festival, Mennonite Community Orchestra, and Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. Irmgard Baerg’s professional correspondence, recital and concert programs, photos, newspaper reviews and articles published about her. Both series highlight the successful and extensive careers of each individual.
