Omega Phi Alpha records

 Collection
Identifier: MS-0756

Collection Organization

The collection of Omega Phi Alpha consists of convention and mid-year minutes and reports, membership records, some financial records, chapter files, subject files, scrapbooks, and photographs.

The most continuous series is for the Convention and Mid-year minutes and files, running with only a few gaps from 1967 through 1994. Newsletters, both the Chevron and earlier Yellow Rose cover from 1967 to 1994.

Although financial records are scattered, the subject and chapter files include a range of material including constitutions, chapter reports and individual chapter files from 1959 through 1994, with additions supplementing the material added in 2006 and 2007.

Scrapbooks created by the Alpha Chapter of Omega Phi Alpha provide a picture of the chapter's operation and activities from 1992-2005.

Due to the ongoing activity in the collection and receipt of new material, reprocessing of the collection is likely in the future to consolidate and weed duplicates in the collection which may be currently scattered in the various additions.
