Note: |
Catalogue compiled 1998-2001 (MS/JH) " |
Date: | 1568 - 1968 |
Arrangement: |
It has been decided to catalogue the archive using a hierarchical structure, beginning with the Lancashire Quarterly Meeting rather than with the Lancaster Monthly Meeting. Preparative Meetings are listed after their relevant Monthly Meeting. The records of the various Yearly Meetings, other Quarterly Meetings, and records of non-Lancashire bodies are listed at the end of the catalogue. The archive was originally calendared in 1976 using the shelf locations of the documents when they were stored at Lancaster Meeting House. This original calendar is superseded by the current catalogue, and the old shelf references no longer apply. An annotated copy of the original calendar has been retained. Initial listing of the collection was carried out by Maria Sienkiewicz in 1998/1999. The temporary numbers allocated during that listing have now been superseded. |

Administrative / biographical background: |
The documents in this collection are the archive of the Society of Friends Lancaster Monthly Meeting. The Monthly Meeting is the official body in terms of law, to which all official matters are referred. Lancaster Monthly Meeting has or had responsibility for Lancaster, Calder Bridge, Quernmore, Wyresdale and Yealand Preparative Meetings, among others. The records of these Preparative Meetings, and of the Monthly Meeting, make up the main body of the archive. Lancaster Monthly Meeting is a member of the Westmorland General Meeting. Formerly it was a member of the Lancashire & Cheshire Quarterly Meeting (from 1855) and prior to that, the Lancashire Quarterly Meeting. As a result of this membership, there are also some records of the Quarterly Meeting within the archive, as well as records of London Yearly Meetings and other yearly gatherings, which governed the regional Quarterly Meetings. Records of other Monthly Meetings within Lancashire Quarterly Meeting and their related Preparative Meetings have also been deposited as part of the archive. Researchers should consult the catalogues of these Monthly Meetings (e.g. FRM - Marsden Monthly Meeting, FRP - Preston Monthly Meeting) for the main body of their records. |
