The donated corporate records include advertisements and some business records, (1926-1934/35). There is a particularly rich collection of industrial photographs of the major plants (ca. 120 photographs). Box II complements the corporate material with scattered records of members of the Jacobi family as well as genealogical material on the Netter family

The firm, originally founded by Wolf Netter (1783-1859) in 1833 in Buehl in Baden, was one of the leading producers of iron and steel industrial products. In the course of the next hundred years, plants were built in Aldershof-Berlin, Finnentrop in Westfalen

The Jacobis tied their fortunes to the Netters in 1873 following the Peace of Frankfurt when Elsass-Lothringen was ceded to the newly created German Reich and Salomon Jacobi established an affiliate company in Strassburg
