Quaker Miscellaneous Manuscripts is an artificial collection that brings together various single items or small groups of related materials relating to Quakers and Quakerism. The materials included within the collection are items that are not formally part of the New England Yearly Meeting records but may relate to or supplement that collection.
As the home of the records of the New England Yearly Meeting, SCUA anticipates acquiring individual manuscripts and small groupings of materials that relate to the history of Quakers and Quakerism. In order to preserve the provenance of these materials as well as highlight them for research purposes, they are aggregated within this collection of Quaker Miscellaneous Manuscripts.
