Biographical / Historical
The Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Records Project was started in 1986 by the Quaker Collection of Haverford College Library, in conjunction with the Friends Historical Library, and with grant-funding from the Pitcairn-Crabbe Foundation, various Philadelphia Quaker funds, and two Pennsylvania state agencies, with the intention of collecting and describing the archival records of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting and its affiliates. Over the course of the three year project, a detailed inventory of the records available at both Haverford and the Friends Historical Library was compiled, and a detailed guide to the records was prepared by archivist Jack Eckert.
