Foreword to the 1991 revised edition

This bibliography is based upon the one drawn up by Victor D. Kliewer in 1970. Since that date many new works had been added so that a complete revision seemed necessary and desirable. The inventory is designed in the first instance for CMBC students. Others may, however, find it helpful for studying various aspects of Anabaptist-Mennonite life and belief.

The CMBC historical library has concentrated its acquisitions in Canadian, Russian and Prussian Mennonitism, plus sixteenth century Anabaptism. No attempt has been made to be comprehensive in other areas of Mennonite research.

This bibliography does not include a listing of Mennonite periodicals, newspapers, and journals at the Mennonite Heritage Centre. A listing of these holdings is available in separate form.

The preparation of this project, through its various revisions, has been aided substantially by Lawrence Klippenstein, Archivist-Mennonite Heritage Centre, as well as Marg Franz, and Paul Friesen, successively CMBC Librarians. Trevor Bechtel and David Janzen did much of the work for the final revision with the assistance of summer work grants. Data entry was done by Shelly Bueckert and Chris Wiebe.
