Phi Delta Kappa is a national education honorary. The local chapter was first established as the Alpha Beta Club in 1917. The club successfully petitioned Phi Delta Kappa for chapter standing and the Alpha Gamma Chapter was established in 1922.
This collection consists of records of the Alpha Gamma Chapter of Phi Delta Kappa. It contains minutes, correspondence, financial and membership records, convention materials, and newsletters.
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.
This collection is open for research use.
