Abstract: Explores methods used to identify and preserve the
organizational records of the Imperial Court, Daughters of Isis, and the personal papers of Past Imperial Commandresses of the organization,
covering the period 1908 to present. Discusses issues confronted when attempting to identify and collect other artifacts that document the history of the organization and its members, and explores
ways in which this information provides insight into the political, social, educational, and economic landscape of African Americans. Work
accomplished to date has established a framework that can be utilized by other African American Masonic women's organizations in capturing and
preserving their history and ensuring that this history is reflected in local, state, regional, and national histories. |
