Some of the items cover topics such as Contentious Objector status, Sommerfeld church private schools, catechisms, song books, Brandordnung, church membership questions, and Krimmer Mennonites. Some of the institutions covered include Mennonite Mutual Aid, Mennonite Educational Institute (Altona), and the Sommerfeld Waisenamt (a church mutual aid and trust fund institution).
