Minutes and related records, 1935-1969 (created 1960-1969)
Scope and Contents
Looseleaf minute book begun in 1960. It begins with a history of Quaker Street Half-Yearly's meetings from 1935-1942, copied from the minute book that during the period was shared by the Half-Yearly and by Quaker Street Monthly Meeting. At the time of transcription, the shared minute book remained in the care of Quaker Street Monthly Meeting (it is now in the library's collection RG2/NY/Q331).
Following the abstract of minutes 1935-1942 and administrative correspondence related to the transcription project is a typescript copy of the Quaker Street Half-Yearly Meeting minute book from 1943-1955 (the original minute book is also present in another file). Beginning in October 1955 are what the meeting preserved as record copies, mostly carbon copies and photocopies. These minutes include membership statistics, financial summary information, reports from constituent monthly meetings, committee reports (including Ministry & Counsel), state of the meeting reports, and other records related to the functioning of the half-yearly and its monthly meetings.
The file was at one point in a three-ring binder (no longer present) and was numbered consecutively by an unknown hand.
