Weber immigrated to the United States in 1936 when he was 15. He later became a German professor at Augustana College, Rock Island, Illinois. Materials in this collection inclue notebooks, files, manuscripts of professional writings, books, photographs, slides, and photo albums, DVDs, coins, stamps, post cards, and published materials.
