Overview and metadata sections

Friends Circle, a Hicksite Quaker study and social group, was established in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1884, to discuss topics of mutual interest. Originally the Circle met in the homes of members, but after the Park Avenue meeting house opened in March 1889, the meeting house library became the regular location.

The collection contains four volumes of bound minutes, 1884-1885, 1885-1888, 1888-1894, 1894-1896.

Donor: Baltimore Monthly Meeting

The collection was deposited by Baltimore Monthly Meeting and later catalogued separately in Record Group 4.
