Overview and metadata sections

The Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance (GPCA) was founded in 1972 by nine leading Philadelphia cultural institutions: The Academy of Music, Academy of Natural Sciences, The Franklin Institute, The Free Library of Philadelphia, Library Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia Orchestra Association, and The Philadelphia Zoological Garden. The leaders of these organizations originally came together to coordinate historical and cultural events for the Bicentennial Celebration of 1976. From these interactions an idea evolved to band together permanently to share mutual concerns and solve common problems among Philadelphia area cultural institutions. Through its sponsorship of numerous programs and activities, the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance also sought to arouse public awareness, participation and financial support for the humanities, arts, and sciences in the Delaware Valley region.

This collection contains organizational histories, articles of incorporation, by-laws, and annual reports; materials from GPCA annual meetings; correspondence and meeting minutes for the GPCA Board of Directors and executive committee; correspondence and miscellaneous material related to the Executive Directors Office of GPCA; and photographs. This collection includes preserved versions of the organization’s website, available through Archive-It.

The collection is arranged into 9 series as follows:

Series 1: Administration, 1972-1988
Series 2: Departments, 1973-1987
Series 3: Membership Services, 1962-1987
Series 4: Organizations, 1971-1987
