The first section--six essays--describes the history and development of ethnic fraternal benefit associations as well as the variety of research for which fraternal records can be used. The second section of the directory lists ethnic fraternal benefit associations. Entries for each fraternal include information about the fraternal's organizational history, activities, and extant records." -- Pref.
