The Toledo Alumnae Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta collection contains records dating from 1922 to 1993. Of research interest are the bylaws and minutes which include information on the Chapter's organization, activities, projects and policies. The minutes date from 1922 to 1993, however several gaps occur; between 1938 and 1942, 1944 and 1949, 1971 and 1973, and 1983 to 1993. Histories of the Chapter written by members are also very helpful to the researcher. Correspondence, scattered throughout the early years and more complete from 1969 to 1986, is largely from the Chapter officers to members.
