Scope and Content of the Series

The first convention was held in 1917 in Washington, DC. Subsequent conventions were held biennially; from 1917 to 1935, they were held on odd years. After NFFE disaffiliated with the AFL, the conventions were held on even years. In 2004, the delegates voted to hold their national convention every four years. This series is divided into five subseries: A. Convention Proceedings, B. Resolutions, C. Programs, D. Office Files and E. Convention Credentials.
