- [1860-1974]
Part of Gerhard Lohrenz fonds
Photographs collected from hundreds of refugees and immigrants by Rev. Gerhard Lohrenz (1899-1986) and used for publication in the book entitled "Heritage Remembered" (first edition, December 1974; second edition, September 1977) are contained in this collection. Lohrenz chose the collecting and publishing of this pictorial tour of the former Mennonite communities of Prussia and Russia as a Canadian Mennonite Centennial Project. The photographs show various Mennonite settlements and portray Mennonite life as they depict villages, mills, factories, homes, farms, churches, schools and much more.
