Information by and about the > Society of Friends can be accessed here in many formats and > categories. Highlights include the Jenks Collection of early books > and pamphlets, meeting records, organization and family papers, > journals and diaries, English and American Quaker serials, and a > comprehensive collection of Quaker fiction. Because of Quaker > involvement in the social justice movement and Pennsylvania's > location in the history of the United States, these materials also > lend themselves to many kinds of study beyond the Society of Friends. > > > > Please feel free to contact John Anderies with your questions: > > email: janderie@haverford.edu<mailto:janderie@haverford.edu> phone: > 610-896-2948 > > > John F.
