Recent Scholarship in Quaker Studies

Abstract

Recent Scholarship in Quaker Studies Jordan Landes NEW FEATURE: Digital projects using Quaker resources From the publication of Earlham School of Religion's Digital Quaker Collection in 2003 to 2009's Quakers and Slavery collaborative project by Haverford and Swarthmore Colleges to the newly available Philadelphia Congregations Early Records (philadelphiacongregations.org/records/) website, Quaker materials have provided rich primary sources for digital scholarship projects. Virtual access to Quaker materials has become even more important over the last six months, so this bibliography will start to highlight a couple of projects each issue, recognizing that a complete list would fill many pages. Please contact me at jlandes1@swarthmore.edu to let us know about other new digital projects. In Her Own Right (inherownright.org/): Marking the 100th anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment this year, this project by members of the Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries (PACSCL) and funded by the National Endowment of the Humanities examines how women in the Philadelphia area have worked to expand their rights and opportunities. A major theme of the project, as stated on its website, includes 'Philadelphia's Quaker origins and the Quaker traditions of women's equality and outspokenness'. Quakers of Color International Archives (scua.library.umass.edu/umarmot/quakers-of-color/): This online archive was launched by Professor Harold D. Weaver in 2019 as 'part of a global initiative to document the beliefs, experiences, and contributions of people of color within the Society of Friends'. The project is continuing to develop and grow, with support from New England Yearly Meeting of Friends and the archives at UMass Amherst and Haverford College. Contributors Weaver and Emma Lapsansky-Werner have helped bring together oral histories and other resources that enable visitors to the site to learn more about the faith, identity and experience of Friends in different Yearly Meetings from around the globe.
