Sloboda was founded in 1917 when a group of lodges broke off from the Serb American group Srbobran and formed the Srpski Savez Sloboda, which had its headquarters in Pittsburgh, PA. It was a fraternal and beneficial society and also engaged in social, educational and religious activities. In 1927, it merged with Srbadija to form Savez Sloboda. In 1929, that organization merged with Srbobran-Sloga to form the Serb National Federation.
Records of Sloboda include rules and by-laws, charter, legal papers, minutes, convention minutes, convention reports, and calendars.
