The richest source of information in this series are Marian Hostetler's personal letters sent while she was serving in Algeria under Mennonite Central Committee in the 1960s.  The letters contain interesting observations on political and social conditions in Algeria, as well as information about Hostetler's relief work.  Also of particular note in this series is a work of graphic non-fiction by Hostetler entitled, "Un Aperçu de la Vie du Prophète William Wadé Harris."  Other materials in this series include unit and alumni newsletters from the MCC Algeria Unit and the newsletter of the Mennonite Voluntary Service Unit in Gulfport, Miss.

This series consists of manuscripts that writers submitted for Reimer’s thoughtful response and critique, they generated, as well as correspondence from them and a publisher, and Al’s comments about some of the manuscripts.

Location: volume 6668, files 12-21.

This series consists of materials that detail Al’s participation in drama, choirs, opera, and film reviews and are generated by him and individuals connected to these associations.
(For Reimer’s work as a literary critic, see Literature. This file does not include Mennonite Mirror work and letters to MM).
Location: volume 6668, files 1-11; files 5-8 have been left intact and organized the way Al Reimer left them; he “was a founding board member of the Manitoba Opera Association”, (according to the Global Anabaptist Mennonite Encyclopedia Online (GAMEO)). The contents include Al Reimer’s notes, articles, board meeting agendas and minutes, reports, reviews, and so on. After those 4, 3 files contain unorganized sets of slides of scenes from operas, in Reimer’s collection.

This series consists of materials generated by Al Reimer based on the works of the three authors (Dietrich Neufeld, Hans Harder, Arnold Dyck) and by the authors themselves, and by Reimer’s colleagues.
Location: volume 6666.
Files 1-7 - Diedrich Neufeld’s A Russian Dance of Death
Files 8-13 Johannes (Hans) Harder’ No Strangers in Exile: Al Reimer’s work of translating, editing, and expanding Harder’s books into English.
Files 14-20 Arnold Dyck’s works: This category features Al Reimer’s work of transcribing and translating Dyck’s Low-German stories into English; Reimer gave many readings in Low German.

This is a vast series divided into 4 over-lapping sub-categories regarding Al Reimer’s interests in and direct involvement with literature and written work, including the Mennonite Mirror. This category does not include Reimer’s magnum opus, in a category by itself (see series 6). Neither does it include Plautdietsch (Low German) — the language and its literature (see series 4). For the topic of Arnold Dyck, see series 7 (with Neufeld and Harder). Note: some of these categories may seem bulky. This series of literature-focused written materials was generated by Al Reimer and his colleagues, by individuals with the literary organizations, and by fellow writers and critics.
Location: volume 6667.

D. Miscellaneous topics by other Mennonite writers. File 21-22

This series consists of materials Al Reimer collected in preparation for his historical writing projects (articles, short stories, and especially his novel). Reimer researched into and relied on numerous books, journal and newspaper articles, first-hand personal accounts, and various other documents for background information. These sources, generated by other writers listed here, include articles from Der Bote, Der Botschafter, Friedenstimme, Familienkalender, Mennonitische Volkswarte, Mennonitisches Jahrbuch, Mennonitische Rundschau, Odessa Zeitung, Mennonitische Warte, MQR, Mennonite Life, and The Carillon; and books and articles by and about figures such as P.M. Friesen, B.H. Unruh, J.W. Reimer, H.H. Goosen, Adolf Reimer, Bernhard Harder, Walter Quiring, Peter Klassen 1930s, Frank H. Epp, Howard Fast 1947, Cornelius Krahn 1969, Cornelius C. Reimer 1949, John B. Toews 1969, GH 1969, and Peter Dyck, 1969. Other sources include journals and diaries such as those kept by Anna Berg (from 1916 to 1956), by Dietrich Gaeddert (from 1860 to 1876), and one by Heinrich A. Paetkau, Lowe Farm, 1958, about the WWI non-combatant medical service (alternative service) performed by the Sanitäter in Imperial Russia. Some photocopied copies were removed from these files, as these sources are available in archival and library holdings. Reimer’s preliminary notes were retained.
What has been retained are still numerous research materials: generally photocopied documents with Reimer’s notes in margins, many rough notes and drafts that Reimer generated, and much correspondence (often attached to source documents), all regarding his novel. Most files retain Reimer’s titles for his collections; his file-titles are indicated with quotation marks.
Location: volume 6664, files 9-30, and file 41 in volume 6663.
