Organizational Meetings

We meet the first Saturday of each month at 10:15 a.m. to 12:00 Noon in the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity House in Little Rock.

(Meetings are subject to be rescheduled due to holidays and field-trip outings. There are no regular meetings in July or December. In December, a Kwanzaa/Christmas Brunch is held in lieu of the regular meeting.)

Note: The Home owned by the Alphas was built in 1925 for Aldridge E. Bush, the youngest son of John E. Bush, co-founder of the Mosaic Templars of America. The home, called the Bush-Dubisson House is on the National Register of Historic Places. The house was sold in the 1930's to Daniel J. Dubisson, who in 1917 joined forces with an embalmer to establish an undertaking business which was known as Dubisson Undertaking Parlor. This business, now Dubisson Funeral Home, remains in existence today, and speaking of how history goes full circle, it is with the Dubisson Funeral Home that our Funeral Home Project, "The Final Emancipation" is being conducted.

Workshops and Field Trips

Workshops or field trips are scheduled every month. In addition, opportunities are often provided for access to research facilities as a group.

Every third Tuesday (except in July, October and December) the membership is invited to the Butler Center to conduct research. This provides an opportunity for novice researchers to learn from those with more experience and for members to share resources.
