Abstract:
Records of New York Monthly Meeting, 1958-1974. Includes: minutes, 1958-74, membership releases, 1958-74, and committee records.

While the Monthly Meeting of New York, also known as Flushing until 1795, was well established by 1682, the date of its first organization is unknown.

After 1828, at the time of the Hicksite Separation, there were two New York Monthly Meetings: the Orthodox met at Rutgers Medical College and later on Henry Street, and the Hicksites retained the Rose Street and Hester Street Meeting Houses.

The 15th Street (Hicksite) and 20th Street (Orthodox) New York Monthly Meetings were reunited in 1958. In 1975, New York Monthly Meeting was reestablished as New York Quarterly Meeting, and New York Preparative Meeting (15th St.) was renamed 15th St. Monthly Meeting. The meeting is currently active.

Records of New York Monthly Meeting, 1958-1974. Includes: minutes, 1958-74, membership releases, 1958-74, and committee records.

Divided into series: Minutes; Vital Records; Ministry and Oversight; Property Records; Committees; Miscellaneous.

Transferred from Haviland Records Room by NYYM in 1997.

Deposit,1997.
