Keith. The group's first official meeting was in March 1902, and the Alliance Française de Philadelphie was formally chartered in 1908.

The collection contains correspondence, minutes, membership data, bulletins, programs, bylaws, journals, uncataloged photographs, scrapbooks and related materials.
