Administrative Information

Arrangement

The Records of the Alpha Gamma Chapter of Phi Delta Kappa are arranged in seven series: Correspondence, Minutes, Financial Records, Newsletters, Other Records, Membership Account Records, and the Membership Roll. Within each series, except for the alphabetically arranged membership accounts and the numerically arranged membership rolls, the materials have been kept in chronological order. Some overlap exists, however, as the succeeding officers changed record-keeping practices.

Acquisition Information

The records of the Alpha Gamma Chapter of the national education honorary Phi Delta Kappa were deposited in the Washington State University Library by the WSU College of Education in April 1976. An earlier portion was deposited in 1974.

Processing Note

This collection was arranged and described by Ross Pegler in June 1976.
