Introduction This guide to the records of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting and its committees was written to help committee members and researchers alike locate information in the archives. Records have been deposited at either Haverford College Quaker Collection (HV) or at the Friends Historical Library of Swarthmore College (SW). Instructions The finding aids for each committee can be accessed by selecting the links to the html or xml versions in the panel on the right. The latter have been coded in EAD as xml documents in conformity with current archival practice. Some older internet browsers cannot display xml files. If you have Internet Explorer 5 or later, please click on the "xml" button(s). If you are using a Macintosh computer or have an older browser, please select the "htm" link(s) for complete finding aid(s).
