    Historical note

    Jacob J. Hildebrand was born in 1880 in the Molotschna Colony in Russia. He was the oldest son of Jacob and Agatha (Wiebe) Hildebrand. At the age of 17, he left the colony to embark on a world tour with a friend. He then returned to Russia, settling in the new Mennonite settlement at Omsk, Siberia, and worked as a banker and as a proprietor of a lumber and mill company. He married Katharina Wiens, with whom he had one daughter, Justina. The family immigrated to Canada in 1924 and settled in Winnipeg. Jacob had an avid interest in Mennonite history and he published many articles in German Mennonite periodicals. He also wrote several books. His aversion to communism fuelled his support of the Nazi party in Germany, but he was also deeply committed to the Mennonite peace position and advocated for Mennonite rights in Canada. As an amateur historian, he acquired an extensive collection of historical material. After his wife's death in 1936, Jacob moved with his daughter to what is now North Kildonan. He died in 1976.

    Scope and content note

    This fonds consists primarily of correspondence relating to personal and political matters, including education, alternative service, settlement and genealogy. There are also excerpts and transcripts from various historical writings, materials written by others that Hildebrand accumulated, and original documents relating to Mennonites in Canada and Hildebrand's political interests. Finally, the collection includes some maps of various parts of Canada and Russia, and several photographs.
