		<head>SHORT HISTORY OF MEETING </head> 
		<p>Chester Monthly Meeting was established as a monthly meeting for
		  Marcus Hook and Upland by the general meeting held at Burlington in 1681. Its
		  first business sessions were held in 11mo, 1681/2. In 12mo, 1683/4, the meeting
		  became part of Chester [Concord] Quarterly Meeting. At the time of the Hicksite
		  Separation of 1827, two branches of this monthly meeting were formed.</p> 
		<p>In 1934, Chester Monthly Meeting (Hicksite) was discontinued, and its
		  two preparative meetings, Chester and Providence, were established as monthly
		  meetings. Chester Preparative Meeting (Hicksite) then became the new Chester
		  Monthly Meeting (Hicksite). In 1948, Chester Monthly Meeting (Hicksite) merged
		  with the Twenty-Fourth Street Monthly Meeting --formerly Chester Preparative
		  Meeting (Orthodox)-- to form Chester United Monthly Meeting of Friends. This
		  meeting was the forerunner of the current Chester Monthly Meeting of
		  Friends.</p>
		<p> In 1948, Chester Monthly Meeting (Orthodox) released some of its
		  members to form Springfield Monthly Meeting. The members of Chester Preparative
		  Meeting (Orthodox) merged with Chester Monthly Meeting (Hicksite). The
		  membership of Chester Monthly Meeting (Orthodox) was therefore identical with
		  that of Media Preparative Meeting, its only remaining preparative meeting. The
		  preparative meeting was accordingly discontinued. In 1952, the monthly meeting
		  became a united meeting by affiliation with the two Concord Quarterly Meetings.
		  In 1952, the Orthodox branch became a united meeting by affiliation with the
		  two Concord Quarterly Meetings. In 1955, the meeting's name was changed to
		  "Media Monthly Meeting". This is currently an active monthly meeting. </p>

		<head>BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RECORDS</head>

		  births, deaths, marriage certificates, and other vital records from 1677;
		  men's, women's, and joint minutes since 1681; records of the Meeting of Worship
		  and Ministry and Overseers and its predecessors, 1825-1977; financial records,

		  variety of meeting acknowledgements, disownments, removals, and other

		<head>DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE RECORDS</head> 
		<p>Monthly meeting records normally include minutes of men’s and
		  women’s meetings for business and registers of births, deaths, marriages,
		  removals (transfers), and disownments. In general, non-members are not
		  mentioned in the minutes, even when they attended meeting for worship on a
		  regular basis.</p>
		<p> <emph render="bold">Note to Researchers: </emph>These records may
		  only be consulted at either Haverford <emph render="bold">(HV)</emph> or
		  Swarthmore <emph render="bold">(SW)</emph>, and are not available through
		  inter-Library loan. To request materials on-site, please make sure to use the

			 <p>At the time of the Separation in Philadelphia Yearly Meeting in
				1827-28, pre-Separation vital records were generally retained by the branch
				with which the recorder was affiliated. Researchers are advised to consider
				vital records which span this period carefully: in many cases, the meeting
				without the original records may have reconstructed these records for its
				membership only, giving the impression that individuals in the other branch
				were never members.</p>
