This fonds contains Franz H. Letkemann's Russian school report (1913), personal financial records related to the payment of the Reiseschuld (immigration travel debt) to the Canadian Mennonite Board of Colonization as well as the assistance given to others through the Board (1923-1951) and sermons preached in various Manitoba Mennonite congregations with which he was associated (1948-1982). There is an extensive genealogy of Franz and his family, which includes all his step siblings and four generations of their families included in the 2017 accession materials. There are also many diaries and financial ledgers kept by Franz for his own records (1921-1985). The diary entries are very consistent and give a detailed look into Franz’ everyday life including weather statistics, crops planted, people visited and medical concerns. To go along with the diary entries are the financial ledgers which are an itemized record of all the expenses accrued by the Letkemann’s during the years including car expenses, groceries and medicines. A few different family members have written autobiographies and family histories that are included in the Franz Letkemann’s materials.

After the passing of her husband Franz Letkemann, Katarina (nee Kroeker) started keeping record of the days activities as he used to.

Hope for the Future and 30th Anniversary of Damascus Road Oral History Project Description
February 28th - March 2nd
2025

Oral history is a technique used to capture and preserve original historical material through personal recollection and perspectives. This form of history can be used to collect information that is oftentimes unaccounted for in written narratives or repositories. When it comes to the achievements and lived experiences of Black, Indigenous, Asian, Latino, Pacific Islanders, and Deshi peoples, primary source material and historical records are limited. In the field of history, a predominantly white discipline, it is easy for white history to become the default. This makes it difficult for marginalized peoples to carve themselves out in historical narratives and analysis.

This year’s conference is being co-hosted by Hope for the Future (HFTF) and Roots of Justice (fka. Damascus Road). This conference and organization work to nurture a space where marginalized people of color can safely discuss their racial realities and experiences within the Mennonite church. As you may know, the racial history of the Mennonite church was in some cases discriminatory and therefore relatively limited. In an attempt to broaden the scope of voices within the Mennonite Church USA Archives, conference coordinators have given us the privilege of conducting oral history interviews. After our interview process, these recordings will be available to the public through the MCUSA Archives to ensure the work of future studies and research.

We believe that the joy and hardships you have experienced in your work with Damascus Road deserves preservation. Your willingness to sit with us and tell your story are the building blocks for diverse historical narratives and analysis. This is an opportunity to exchange honest and fruitful dialogue. We hope that your participation in this project will foster a sense of empowerment and, also, relief. Your stories and experiences hold weight, not just when you speak them aloud, but also for you.
