The papers were processed by Eleonore Aarsen in the Spring of 1998.  Much of the content was in no discernible order, so I rearranged those items.  This includes mostly the church records and sermons.  They are now organized by church employment eras (time periods spent pastoring a certain church), meaning that all items from any given church are together.  The whole collection is divided mainly into personal and professional.  That is why pastoral correspondence and personal correspondence are in their respective categories and not together.  Anything that was in folders, envelopes and bundles upon arrival has been kept together.  The result is that some things seem out of place.  This is especially true in the genealogy collection. Many sermons were used several times.  As a general MLA rule, miscellaneous materials are filed according to last place used (or most recent date).  This means that many sermons written in the 1940s are actually filed in the Emmanuel Mennonite Church era. Items without numbers are not in folders, but filed loosely in the order as listed.

This collection contains extensive correspondence between Voths and their relatives, Foreign Mission Board members, and fellow missionaries during the time period from 1910 to 1970s. Additional materials such as diaries and clippings give a good overview of mission work in China during the height of General Conference Mennonite Mission involvement in that country, 1910s to 1950. Additional correspondence and printed items touch on the search for mission fields in South America, Japan, and Taiwan, and some involvement with American Indian work among the Hopis.
