Other Finding Aids

Dr. William Goerss has shared the following inventory of the George Stoeckhardt Papers presently located in the Archives of the Wisconsin Synod - Northwestern Publishing House, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Until approximately 1963 these papers were located in the personal collection of the Rev. Paul Pieper, son of Dr. August Pieper. August Pieper was married to Stoeckhard's sister, Marianne Stoeckhardt, and hence the uncle's materials came into the possession of the nephew. (August R. Suelflow, May 1964). Since that date, some of these materials have been donated to CHI in 2007. This list has been retained for historical purposes.
