| Summary: |
The materials in the collection span the years 1922-1999 and reflect the history, structure, and activity of the Greek-American organization. There are also a few biographical materials of its members. Almost all of the material is in English.
The records consist of annual convention materials, by-laws, correspondence, directories, elections materials, financial and statistical data, histories, officer handbooks, meeting minutes and agendas, newspaper clippings and publication materials, programs and projects, reports and analyses, rules and ritual documents. The bulk of these materials is in Series I, which covers the broadest time period, and reflects that activities of the district headquarters, its board of directors, lodges, chapters, and committees. The most prominent records here are correspondence, convention and some financial materials.
The materials represented in Series II, spanning the years 1936-1997, relate to the organizations' auxiliaries and include correspondence, directors, histories, minutes, rules, and manuals. Series III consists of only three folders and concerns Districts #3 and #5.
The collection in general would be of particular interest to anyone interested in the rather complete, even coherent history of a local Greek-American organization that has changed, adapted, and remained active during most of the last century. The Order of Ahepa is an international fraternal association founded in Atlanta, Georgia in 1922 for the purpose of assisting all immigrants of Greek descent in achieving American citizenship. Its original name was the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association. The record consist of annual convention materials, bylaws, correspondence, directories, receipts, minutes, clippings and other materials. |
