Abstract:
Digital records for Shepherdstown Friends Meeting, 2010-2018.

Shepherdstown Friends Meeting began meeting for worship in the early 1990s. The meeting was organized as Shepherdstown Preparative Meeting, under the care of Frederick Friends Meeting, in 2010. In the 2012 Annual Sessions of Baltimore Yearly Meeting, Shepherdstown Friends Meeting was granted monthly meeting status.

Shepherdstown Friends Meeting's digital records from both their time as a Preparative Meeting (2010-2012) and Monthly Meeting (2012-ongoing): business minutes (2011-2018), Spiritual State of the Meeting reports (2010-2018), records related to their establishment as a Preparative and then Monthly meeting, and some membership-related records.

Digital records deposited in 2020 by Wayne Finegar, then-General Secretary of Baltimore Yearly Meeting.

Before becoming a monthly meeting, Shepherdstown Friends were under the care of Frederick Friends Meeting, whose records are described separately at QM-B-F691.
