The first box of files contains copies of journals, written in the form of letters to his wife, and other documents from Hoefler's 1925-1926 journey to Africa. One journal entry from March 27, 1926, notes, "When the ship entered the Djibouti harbor it was met by dozens of small craft which brought out boys who dived for coins. These totos were very clever, never missing any coin thrown into the sea." The files also have a journal from Hoefler's 1931-1932 trip to India, several literary manuscripts and film catalogs. The second box holds maps of India and Africa, a small file of newspaper clippings, biographical material and correspondence related to Hoefler"s daughter, Jacqueline Troyer, and cassette recordings of Troyer's oral history. The third box of files contains more Hoefler correspondence as well as agreements and financial documents. The fourth box holds a scrapbook containing newspaper clippings, a poster and a photograph. The fifth box holds newspaper clippings related to Hoefler's film Africa Speaks, while the final two boxes hold still more clippings, including a review of Hoefler's book Africa Speaks, published by The John C. Winston Co. in 1931 and available at the Alfred M. Bailey Library & Archives at the Denver Museum.
