This is a collection of photographs, event schedule booklets, and convention pamphlets gathered by Dorothy McField, mostly from the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. The collection includes a few photographs and other materials from various chapters of Delta Sigma Theta in the Kansas-Missouri region as well as other locations; there are also a few photographs and materials from other sororities and fraternities, including the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity and the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority.

The Russell Cartwright family papers are those of a native Kansas family; both Russell and Elizabeth Cartwright worked in the public schools, he as a teacher and principal and she as a substitute teacher.
