The first series, History and Administrative Records (1 linear foot), contains early records of the fraternity, including an audio tape interview with one of the early members of the fraternity (J. Leon Langhorne) and a minute book (1909-1927). There are also records of the activities of the fraternity, including parties, workshops, and community service. Administrative and organizational records are contained in this group as well, including organizational charts, officers' reports, minutes of meetings, and several versions of the constitution and bylaws of the chapter. This series also contains two editions of a book by Charles H. Wesley, The History of Alpha Phi Alpha: A Development in College Life, which is a general history of Alpha Phi Alpha from 1906 to 1979. Several references to the Epsilon Chapter and the University of Michigan are made in the book, many of which have been marked.

The Centennial series (0.1 linear video and 1 online digital video file) contains material relating to the centennial celebration of the Alpha Phi Alpha Epsilon Chapter in 2009. Material includes a guest book, centennial meeting sign in sheets, a souvenir journal, tickets and schedules, and oversize posters from an exhibit on Alpha Phi Alpha at the Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library. Also included is "Epsilon 100", a documentary on the history of the Epsilon Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha that was published online upon the occasion of the chapter's 100th anniversary.

Some material collected at the centennial celebration was added to this collection's Historical and Administrative Records series.
