Quaker Meeting Records (HC and SC)

An orientation to the records of Quaker meetings deposited at Friends Historical Library (Swarthmore College) and Quaker & Special Collections (Haverford College)

For Meeting Clerks

Haverford and Swarthmore each have formal "deposit agreements" with several yearly meetings (see "Find a Meeting's Records" for more detail). We steward these meeting records to ensure long-term preservation and access.

For meeting clerks and other members curious about what or how to send material to Haverford or Swarthmore, we have prepared a brief guide on "Depositing Quaker Meeting Records." 

If your meeting is affiliated with one of the yearly meetings we collect, we would be glad to help care for your records. The guide addresses many of the most common questions about sending material (both paper and electronic) to our archives, but please do contact us if you have any questions.
