The John D. Voelker papers document Voelker's life, his career as a lawyer, prosecuting attorney of Marquette County, and associate justice of the Michigan Supreme Court, and his activities as a writer and trout fisherman. The legal case files shed light on economic and social conditions in Marquette County during the 1930s and 1940s. The published and unpublished manuscripts document Voelker's development as a writer and the effort he put into crafting his works. The correspondence covers a wide range of subjects but is primarily focused on fishing and literary endeavors. There is also material on the Voelker and Traver families from their arrival in the United States. The records cover the years 1871 to 1992, with most of the items covering the period between 1930 and 1990.
