content: Consists primarily of Voigt's class notes and notebooks relating to brewing beer. In addition, there is some outgoing and incoming correspondence which reveals Voigt's interest in preserving the history of beer brewing in America before brewmasters were as he stated "replaced by chemical engineers and highly trained chemists in modern laboratories."  Membership cards and a convention badge from the Master Brewers Association of America (MBAA) can also be found among these materials.  Voigt wrote a paper on the history of brewing in Maryland and the vicinicty in 1949 which was probably presented at one of the conventions or possibly as a piece for the newlsetters. In addition a list of the materials that Voigt intended to donate to the Smithsonian Institution is also found among the materials. Materials are arranged in chronological order.
