Additional Description

Arrangement

The collection was generally well arranged before processing began. The main body of folders contains material chronologically arranged. The documents in each folder have to do with the Seventh-day Adventist church in Germany from 1869 until 1914, Conradi, and his apostasy.

The documents within the folders, which are from a given year, are not arranged chronologically, and oftentimes they contain interesting personal notes from Padderatz.
