| Summary: |
The Alliance Française de Philadelphie was founded in 1903 by Professor P. F. Giroud, with additional help from Mrs. Alexander J. Cassatt, Mrs. Robert Coleman Drayton, and Mrs. Sidney W. Keith. The group's first official meeting was in March 1902, and the Alliance Française de Philadelphie was formally chartered in 1908. Its goal then was to teach and preserve French language and culture. Today the Alliance flourishes in the spirit of its original mission by sponsoring social and cultural events and offering French language courses. The collection contains correspondence, minutes, membership data, bulletins, programs, bylaws, journals, uncataloged photographs, scrapbooks and related materials. |
