SHORT HISTORY OF THE ADMINISTRATION OF PHILADELPHIA YEARLY MEETING
In 1955, the reunified Philadelphia Yearly Meeting authorized the merger of the former Orthodox business office at 304 Arch Street and the Central Bureau of the Hicksite branch at 1515 Cherry. The Committee in charge of the offices met and organized under the name of the Committee on the Central Bureau, as a subcommittee of Representative Meeting; they decided to call the office the Friends Central Bureau. In 1957, this name was changed to the Office of the Yearly Meeting.
Staff members at the time of the reunification included William Eves, Howard G. Taylor, Marguerite Hallowell, and Richmond P. Miller. By 1957, William Eves was named General Secretary, and Taylor and Miller Associate Secretaries. The Arch Street Yearly Meeting had appointed its first Yearly Meeting Secretary in 1918, William B. Harvey, whose budget included his own salary, clerical assistance, and office expenses; Harvey served until 1937, when he was suceeded by Edward W. Evans. The latter was reappointed until his retirement in 1946, when Howard G. Taylor (1890-1967) assumed the role; Taylor resigned in 1958. The Hicksites named Jane P. (Jane Palen) Rushmore the General Secretary of its new Central Bureau in 1911; Rushlore served until she retired in 1945. At that time, the Yearly Meeting divided her responsibilities among three secretaries, one each for Office, Field, and Education. Marguerite Hallowell, Office Secretary, retired in 1956. Richmond P. Miller (1902-1972), who began working for the Race Street branch in 1939 doing field visiting for the Social Service Committee, became Field Secretary of the Central Bureau in 1945, and retired as Associate Secretary in 1968. William Eves served as General Secretary until 1963. Succeeding General Secretaries of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting include the following:
Francis G. Brown 1964-1982
Samuel D. Caldwell 1982-1990/1
Edwin E. Staudt 1990-1994
Nancy Middleton 1994-1995
Thomas H. Jeavons 1995-
At the time of the reunification, the Central Bureau provided clerical assistance to the Yearly Meeting and to other Quaker groups on a fee basis. By 1966, the Office was providing stenographic and switchboard services, mimeographing, bookkeeping for certain committees, and addressing services for PYM; it also coordinated fieldwork (visitation).
Representative Meeting was reorganized in 1970, and the Office Committee was laid down. Its duties were temporarily transferred to the new Personnel Committee. In 1974, three "Coordinating Committees" were set up: Education and Care of Members (CC-1), Testimonies and Concerns (CC-2), and General Services (CC-3).
In 1990, Representative Meeting appointed the Long Range Committee; its report was submitted to Yearly Meeting in March of 1994. When unity could not be reached on some of its recommendations during a special session in October of 1994, a Structure and Workings Committee was appointed; this Committee was comprised of all of the Clerks of monthly and quarterly meetings. The report of the Structure and Workings Committee was approved by Yearly Meeting in 1996. At that time an Implementation Committee was created to work out the details.
In 1997, Philadelphia Yearly Meeting was restructured from three Coordinating Committees to five Standing Committees, and Representative Meeting was renamed Interim Meeting. A General Services Standing Committee was given broad responsibility for oversight of "those administrative functions which enable the ministry of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting," roughly divided into four areas, i.e. Finance, Personnel and Administration, Conferences, and Property.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RECORDS
Administrative records of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting include committee and other records having to do with the functions of accounting and audit, fund development and stewardship of funds, grant coordination and financial assistance, computer services, records and archives, personnel services and staff benefits, conference management (including Yearly Meeting sessions), and property management - as are under the oversight of the current General Services Standing Committee. Partially because of changes in the structure of the administrative functions, this finding aid is organized by committee and by function, depending on provenance. The records of the offices of General and Associate Secretaries are also included. Those records which were received without provenance information have been broadly grouped as either financial or general administrative records. Researchers interested in a particular time period or functional unit are advised to search the entire finding aid for relevant materials.

Series 1. Central Bureau Committee, 1911-1964
In 1911, the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting (Hicksite) committees on First-day Schools, Philanthropic Labor, and Education proposed
the creation of a Central Bureau, to coordinate better the actions of the
various committees. They also entered into a contract to transact the office business of the Committee on First Day Schools
of Friends General Conference. Jane P. (Jane Palen) Rushmore was its first General Secretary, and she continued in this role
until her retirement in 1945. At that time, the Yearly Meeting divided her responsibilities among three secretaries, one each
for Office, Field, and Education. Marguerite Hallowell, Office Secretary, retired in 1956. Richmond P. Miller (1902-1972),
who began working for the Race Street branch in 1939 doing field visiting for the Social Service Committee, became Field Secretary
of the Central Bureau in 1945, and retired as Associate Secretary in 1968.

In 1923, the Hicksite Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, acting on a request from the Committee on First-Day Schools,
appointed a Survey Committee to
review committee organization and to make recommendations as to its improvement. This resulted in the instruction
to Central Bureau to take charge of field work in 1924, handling the concerns of both the Education and First-Day
School Committees.

Series 3. Personnel Services Group, 1968-1996
A Personnel Committee was created in 1968 by the
Representative Meeting, on the recommendation of the Office
Committee, with the concurrence of the Coordinating Committee,
Committee on Decision-Making Procedures, and Finance Study Committee.
The Personnel's Committee's initial objectives were: to develop and
maintain a salary plan, based on info on job categories and salary
ranges collected by the Office Committee; to implement annual reviews
of the salaries of all Yearly Meeting and Yearly Meeting Committee
staff; to approve the starting salary for new Yearly Meeting and
Yearly Meeting Committee staff; to serve as a grievance body for
personnel issues; to develop personnel policies and fringe benefits
for Yearly Meeting and Yearly Meeting Committee staff, having in mind
a common occupancy of the Friends Center office building with the
AFSC and other organizations; and to stimulate interest in service to
the Yearly Meeting and its committees, either through employment or
volunteer.
The Personnel Committee was created as a standing committee
of the Representative Meeting. It temporarily assumed the duties of the Office Committee in 1970 until the establishment
of the General Services Coordinating Committee in 1974. It continues as the Personnel
Services Group.
The Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Records Committee restricts access to certain materials with implications for personal privacy.

Series 6. Finance Services Group, 1827-1982
Records of the Finance Services Group of Philadelphia Yearly
Meeting and its predecessors. Includes records of the Budget Committee (1922-36), the
Committee on Income Administration and Distribution (1956), the Audit
and Budget Committee (1955-67), the Finance Committee (1936-55 & 1970-81), and the Committee on Programs, Salaries, and
their Financing (1980-82).

World Conference (1951-53), and other miscellaneous financial
records.
Due to the difficulty of determining provenance of many unlabeled ledgers and account books, some financial records which
might more properly be listed within the finding aids for the Interim Meeting or Friends Fiduciary are included here. Researchers
seeking financial records of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting should consult all three references.

eventually will pass to PYM or other IRS approved Friends organizations. As of 2003, the Fund had distributed more than $1,698,450
to benefit PYM, monthly or quarterly meetings, preparative meetings, unincorporated Friends schools, and Friends boarding

Friends House Committee was appointed jointly by the Representative Meeting of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting (Orthodox), Representative
Committee of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting (Hicksite), and the Executive Board of American Friends Service Committee in 1940.
The purpose of the Committee was to investigate possible sites for a Friends' House, to explore space needs of the three participants,
and the survey the members concerning the establishment of such a facility. Ten years later, after the interruption of World
War II, the Committee employed architectural assistance in studying existing facilities and possible sites. A brochure was
prepared for circulation before a joint session of the two Yearly Meetings in 3mo 1954. After receiving a go-ahead, the committee's
work was stalled due to difficulties in agreeing on a site. Finally, the Committee was released in 1955, and a new committee,
the Committee on the Use of Friends' Properties in Central Philadelphia was appointed by Representative Meeting

In 1955, the Arch Street (Orthodox) and Race Street
(Hicksite) divisions of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting completed
their five-year transition to an "organic union" of the two meetings.
Records and personnel were moved from Arch Street to the new yearly
meeting headquarters at 1515 Cherry Street. In addition to combining
the two yearly meetings' headquarters, Representative Meeting
subcommittees also had to be combined, and a few new subcommittees
were created. Among these new committees was the Committee on the Use
of Friends Properties in the Central Philadelphia Area, whose task it
was to study the needs of Yearly Meeting committees and other
Friendly organizations and to make recommendations for the efficient
housing of their activities, between the various Philadelphia Yearly
Meeting properties. It was called, variously, the Use Committee and
the Property Committee. The oversight of the property on Cherry
Street was removed from the Monthly Meeting that used the space and
given to the Representative Committee of the Yearly Meeting in 1955;
oversight of the Arch Street property followed, in 1962.
Construction and improvement of the Arch Street properties,
including the demolition of the 300 Arch Street building, went on
from 1962 to 1967, supervised by the Arch Street Building Committee.
In 1973, the Representative Meeting "changed its
mind" and authorized the appointment of a committee to "study the entire
question of future development of the Arch Street property",
considering options such as a retirement community, and overnight
residential facility, and a facility for the Diagnostic Center.

The Third & Arch Streets properties consist of several joined buildings facing Arch and Third Streets in Philadelphia. The
302-304 building was built in 1916 by the Orthodox Yearly Meeting to house Friends during yearly meeting. After a number of
options for the site were explored, the Yearly Meeting sold the buildings in 1979 to a developer, Third and Arch Street Associates,
but retained the land. After a series of financial difficulties, Third & Arch Street Associates went into bankruptcy and the
properties were sold in 1993.
The collection consists of minutes, correspondence, legal documents and other records of the relationship of Philadelphia
Yearly Meeting with Third & Arch Streets Associates. Due to the fact that there was no General Secretary or Associate Secretary
for Administration at the time of the bankruptcy, the there are gaps in the documentation. This collection was assembled by
Helen File, Director of Arch Street Meeting House.

Series 8. Computer Committees, 1971-1994
An Ad Hoc Computer Committee was established in 1981 as a means of supporting the staff in preparing to move from the old
Burroughs system accounting machine and a separate addressograph plate membership system to a more up-to-date AMS (Applied
Micro Systems) system. The Committee included the Assoc. Sec'y for General Services, the Yearly Meeting treasurer, the accountant,
and other experienced computer users. Because the Committee existed in an Ad Hoc status, it served in an advisory capacity
for the selection of hardware and programs. In 1987, there was a request to establish this committee as a standing committee,
but this was not effected until 1991 when it was renamed the Computer Services Committee. In 1994, the stated purpose of the
Computer Services Committee was as follows: "to advise the staff and otherYearly Meeting Committees. In this capacity it will
monitor services provided by the computer system, and serve as a forum for discussion of policy and costs controlling the
computer services of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. Implementation of computer policy is the responsibility of the General Secretary."

In September, 1977, the Representative Meeting appointed a
Tercentenary Committee to focus Friends' attention on the various
300th anniversaries related to William Penn. These anniversaries
included the 300th anniversary of Charles II's granting a charter to
William Penn and the founding of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in
1681, the 300th anniversary of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting in
1981, and the anniversary of Penn's Landing and the founding of the
city of Philadelphia in 1682. The Committee maintained contact with the Philadelphia Historical & Museum Commission, the
Welcome Society, and the Heritage Guild, among others, in arranging events and publications. It also worked with the Arch
Street Exhibits Committee, and the Yearly Committee on Education to enhance Friends' knowledge of "William Penn's importance
to us all."
The Committee had some part in a number of publications, including The Papers of William Penn, edited by Richard & Mary Mapes Dunn, with a bibliography of his works by Edwin D. Bronner (a committee member), Three Centuries of Quakers in the Delaware Valley, edited by John Moore, and Philadelphia Quakers, 1681-1981, a pictorial history of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, written by Robert H. Wilson, working with an Oversight Committee
under the Representative Meeting. There was also a conference, "The Worlds of William Penn" in Philadelphia in March, 1981,
organized by the Center for Early American Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, a dramatic performance entitled "There
is a Spirit", performed at the regular Yearly Meeting in March, and a day-long special session at Burlington Monthly Meeting
in New Jersey. The Committee also organized slide shows, conferences, and inspirational programming for the Meetings.
Esther Darlington Rosenberg served as Clerk of the Committee until 1980, when she resigned and Nancy Webster took over. The
Tercentenary Committee was laid down in 1982.

Series 10. Records Committee, 1873-1975
In 1913, the Orthodox branch of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting built a vault for historical records at 302 Arch Street. At that
time, Hicksite records were typically deposited in Friends Historical Library of Swarthmore College. In 10 mo 1956, Representative
Meeting directed that the Committee in Charge of the Department of Records at Arch Street assume responsibility for all of
the records of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, those which were stored in the vault and those at Friends Historical Library.
An expanded Records Committee began to report to Yearly Meeting at this time.
In 1965, Yearly Meeting agreed that the archives at Arch Street should be dispersed to Friends Historical Library and to the
Quaker Collection at Haverford. The transfer was mostly completed by 1975.

Series 13. Office of the General Secretary: Samuel D. Caldwell, 1977-1987
Samuel D. Caldwell was the General Secretary of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting from 1982-1990. During his term he managed to
stop the decrease in numbers of Friends in the Yearly Meeting by implementing an “Outreach Committee” to bring information
about Quakers to the outside world. This program was controversial because of the traditional Friendly aversion to evangelism,
but it proved fairly effective. Caldwell also served as chairman of the board of the Metropolitan Council of Churches, where
he was responsible for the inclusion of many minority churches that had previously been excluded from board membership as
not belonging to an official denomination of Christianity. He resigned in 1990, at the age of 42, because he felt that he
had served to the best of his ability and that staying on would be a hindrance to the meeting.
These files associated with Outreach Committee, Metropolitan Council of Churches, and Miscellaneous contain the papers that
Samuel Caldwell
assembled during and directly before his term as General Secretary,
although some of the files may have been left over from Caldwell’s
predecessor, Francis G. Brown. They contain Philadelphia Yearly
Meeting administrative documents and financial papers; files from
various committees; documents on national, international, and
interfaith concerns; and some personal General Secretary’s records
belonging to Caldwell. The two most significant groups are nine
folders from PYM’s Outreach Committee, and six folders from the
Metropolitan Council of Churches.

Series 14. Office of General Secretary: Nancy Middleton, 1994-1996
In 1989, Samuel D. Caldwell, General Secretary of Philadelphia Yearly
Meeting, took an extended leave of absence. Robert F. Tatman was appointed to
fill the position on an interim basis. Edwin Staudt was appointed General
Secretary in the 1991/1992 year, but he resigned in 1994. Nancy Middleton was
named Acting General Secretary by the Representative Meeting of PYM in 1994,
and in 1995 became the General Secretary. This collection contains her papers
from 1994-1996, spanning a wide range of topics.
These are the papers that Nancy Middleton collected while serving as
Acting/General Secretary of PYM from 1994-1996. They include information on
personnel and finance, correspondence, and many reports: on committees, on
visits to monthly or quarterly meetings, and on her own activities. There are
also a significant number of folders pertaining to the renovation and
construction at Burlington Meeting House, transforming it into a Youth Center.
The collection is more impressive in breadth than depth, and perhaps serves
best as an illustration of the amount of material that was processed and dealt
with by the General Secretary.
Organization: The order of the collection
has been preserved. The files are divided into two series, the first spanning
the dates 1994-1995, the second 1995-1996,
from Nancy Middleton’s term as Acting General Secretary and from her
term as official General Secretary.
