The collection contains some personal and family materials related to Suderman’s education, and many family letters are part of the extensive correspondence primarily related to his teaching and research. However, there is nothing in the collection before he became a student at Bethel. Some genealogical materials are included such as files for Suderman family reunions. Education materials include both notes and syllabi, not only from courses taken by Suderman, but also for courses taught by Suderman. However, other than humanities courses and a few music courses taught in the1960s, most of the teaching materials are from Sunderman’s last decade at Bethel with almost nothing from his first ten to fifteen years. There are administrative files from departmental and other committees, including his work as North Central rep and on curriculum development. Very extensive files relate to his sabbaticals and summer workshops and also to the numerous South American activities. Some files also relate to each of his many choral activities, directing church choirs, Mennonite Men’s Choir, Golden Singer’s Choir, etc. Several boxes are filled with a vast array of English and Spanish choral music, which are completely unorganized.
