Quakermeetings.com

Quakermeetings.com is a research site that attempts to record basic historical information (former name, parent bodies, location, meeting genealogy, records-storage locations, records known extant) about every monthly meeting of the Religious Society of Friends that has ever existed in North America.

The website was originally created by the late Tom Hill and donated to Earlham College. Quakermeetings.com is now a joint project between Earlham and Swarthmore Colleges.

Digital Quaker Collection (DQC)

The Earlham School of Religion created the Digital Quaker Collection site as a resource for Quaker scholars in 2003. The collection covers several centuries of Quaker literature, all considered to be in the public domain. It represented works written from a variety of perspectives. The collection included works written by men and women. The geographic range included England, Ireland, and America. One can find in this collection journals, histories, doctrinal works, letters, sermons, pamphlets, and proceedings. The Digital Quaker Collection represents a portion of the holdings of the Friends Collection of Lilly Library of Earlham. You can read about the history of the project here.

The site is beginning to show its age, and the Earlham Libraries and Archives are working with ESR, the Computer Science Department, and ITS to preserve the site and retain its functionality.

Quaker Bible Index

The Quaker Bible Index was another project created by scholars associated with the Earlham School of Religion. It is a key to Biblical allusions in early Quaker writings and early Quaker uses of Biblical phrases, by book, chapter and verse.
