Reyes, Sofía C., 1936 February-1971

The Alianza Hispano Americana Records date from 1894 to 1994 and are organized into four series: Membership Files, Correspondence, Administration, and Printed Materials. Series I: Membership Files includes member files from Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas. It ranges from 1894-1993 and is divided into subseries by state. Within each state, the files are organized by year and month, and within these dates, alphabetically. These files include insurance records, legal records, and occasionally birth certificates and death records. Series II contains correspondence, the majority of which is lodge correspondence. Series III includes administrative materials like agendas, manuals, rules, regulations and laws; reports; minutes; materials from meetings and committees; and financial and legal papers. Materials from this series date as early as 1894 with the bulk dating from the 1920s, 1950s and 1960s. The final series, Printed Materials, contains mostly copies of newsletters like the Alianza newsletters (1930-1969), newspaper articles, booklets, publications, magazines, and two photographs.
