Quaker Archives Database

http://www.leeds.ac.uk/library/spcoll/quaker/quakint1.htm

The Quaker Archives Database from the University of Leeds special collections department has created a name index of many of the older documents in The University Library's Carlton Hill archive. This archive relates mainly to Quaker records of West and North Yorkshire. Seventy minute books have been indexed; creating a total of almost 40,000 records. A list of the documents which have been indexed for inclusion in the database is available from the site. It is possible to limit searches to particular types of data, for example name, place or meeting. The results can be displayed by name or by meeting. The results provide references to the documents in the archive containing the search terms used. Online help on how to use the database is available from the site. A longer guide in PDF format is also available from the site.
