List of repositories with relevant collections
The following list provides links to contact details for each repository currently known to hold relevant Quaker archives or printed works. The link is in the form of a connection to ARCHON (Archives Online). Use the Back button on your browser to return to this site, or simply close the ARCHON window.
Please note that this list does not give details of the collections themselves. To search for such information, please use the location register. This list will be updated as collections in new locations come to light. Repositories with only very limited holdings are not included, but details will be available in the location register.
NB Where a repository has an online catalogue or database which includes details of Quaker-related collections, a link has been added to this list. Please follow the blue arrows.
