Delta Kappa Alpha records 509875 1936-1979

Physical Description: 2.63 Linear Feet4 boxes

Scope and Content

Note: The Delta Kappa Alpha records are physically held by the School of Cinematic Arts.
This series consists of the records of Delta Kappa Alpha, a co-educational professional film fraternity, from its conception in the 1930s to the late 1970s. Most of the documents are from the National and Alpha chapters, both based in Los Angeles at the University of Southern California. Also included are documents from other chapters, including Beta chapter (Boston College), Gamma chapter (New York University), and Delta chapter (University of California, Los Angeles), as well as correspondence from other schools interested in establishing their own chapters of the fraternity. Most of the records are organizational, but the series also includes correspondence between the DKA leadership and several prominent Hollywood figures.
