The London Yearly Meeting, at its depository, 12 Bishopsgate Street Without, London, England, has an unrivaled collection of manuscripts illustrating the early history of the Society. The Swarthmoor papers are often indorsed in George Fox's handwriting. The official records are very complete, reaching from the seventeenth century to the present time.

Records relating to New England are at Sandwich and New Bedford, Mass., and at Friends' School, Providence, R. I. The Records relating to New York are much scattered. At Friends' Library, Philadelphia, there are many records relating to Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Records of Baltimore Yearly Meeting previous to 1828 are at the Meeting-House (Hicksite), Baltimore, Md., where they, like those at Philadelphia, are admirably cared for; the Records of Virginia Yearly Meeting are in the possession of the Orthodox Friends of Baltimore, Md. The Records of North Carolina Yearly Meeting are at Guilford College, North Carolina.
