Provenance
The Friedrich Armand Strubberg Collection is composed of material which was removed from the Archiv des Vereins zum Schutz deutscher Einwanderer in Texas (WA MSS S-1291). In 1930 the entire Archiv des Vereins was inventoried by the Reichsarchiv in Berlin. When a second inventory was conducted in 1960 by the Staatsarchiv in Marburg, pursuant to sale outside Germany, however, some thirty-eight files were missing. The Strubberg Collection represents approximately forty percent of these missing files. It is assumed that these records were removed in order to provide evidence to exonerate the reputation of Friedrich Armand Strubberg, who was employed by the German Emigration Company as general director of the Nassau Plantation during the late 1840s. He was subsequently removed from this position and sued by the company in 1850 for what would appear to be malfeasance. During this period Strubberg went under the name of Dr. F. A. Shubbert. [It is assumed that this is an Anglicized version of Strubberg. In German-language documents this version is frequently spelled with a "c," i.e. Schubbert.] In many of the files the name Shubbert is underlined in red with further sections underlined and occasionally annotated. Hence these records came to be known as the Strubberg Collection. The trail of the papers from Germany to the United States is unknown. At some time during the 1960s they became the property of Argosy Book Store, Inc. of New York City, where they remained until purchased by The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library in December 1987. Purchase, 1987.
