Historique de la conservation
This sous-fonds forms part of the Kirkpatrick-Nickle legal collection. The documents came from the law firm of Nickle and Nickle, which was founded by Thomas Kirkpatrick in 1828, and which continued under various names (Kirkpatrick Nickle) and with various partners until 1968. The Voight papers were deposited, along with the papers of other clients of the firm, in Queen's University Archives during the 1960's.

The second series conatins files for 27 major cases of bankruptcy and one file for a minor case.
