This collection reflects the career, from 1870 on, of attorney, judge, and author, Felix Voorhies. It contains fee books and case books generated as part of his legal practice. However, the majority of the collection contains literary works from the early 20th century, including one letter in which the Judge writes about the Evangeline legend and the true story of Emmeline Labiche, which he published as part of Acadian Reminiscences. A manuscript copy of an unpublished play and a photograph of the Judge were added to the collection by Joe Voorhies, Felix Voorhies' son, at his 100th birthday party in 1983.

The collection was donated by the Voorhies family. [Folders 1-26 and 3-1 donated by Bennett Voorhies, Jr.] [Folder 1-24 donated by Joe Voorhies.]
