SHORT HISTORY OF COMMITTEE
The Field Committee was re-established in 1981 by PYM to facilitate communication among the Monthly Meetings, Quarterly Meetings, the Yearly Meetings and other groups in the interest of supporting those groups in need. The Committee visited Monthly Meetings to learn of concerns, gather suggestions and represent the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting to the area Monthly Meetings. It was laid down as a part of the restructuring of the committees of PYM in April, 1998, and was succeeded in its work by the Visitation Working Group.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RECORDS
Records of PYM's Field Committee at Haverford include the group's Minutes, Correspondence, Financial Records, Annual Reports and Reports of Visitations and Acclivities of the Field Committee--the development of the handbook and the sponsorship of intervisitation weekends for members of Monthly Meetings.
