Hull University Brynmor Jones Library
The Brynmor Jones Library at the University of Hull holds three deposits of Quaker records generated by Pickering and Hull Monthly Meeting, its predecessors and constituent Preparative Meetings during the period 1669 to the late 1990s, and containing approximately 3000 items. The earliest records date from the 1660s for Scarborough Monthly Meeting. There are minute books for Meetings based in Beverley, Bridlington, Cave, Hornsea, Hull, Kirkbymoorside, Malton, Owstwick, Pickering, Scarborough and Whitby. The collections also include records of sufferings, title deeds and correspondence, as well as some records of births, marriages and burials. The research papers of Fred Fletcher on Quakerism in East and NorthYorkshire are also held, along with Hugh McGregor Ross' research papers on the teachings of George Fox and a small collection of records of the Taylor charities and family of Scarborough. The Library additionally holds sizeable Quaker book and periodical collections, including several thousand pamphlets and monographs, and important journals such as the Annual Monitor, The Friend, The Friends Quarterly Examiner, Quaker Monthly and the Journal of the Friends Historical Society. The business archives of the Hull-based shipping company, John Good & Sons, have recently been acquired and will be catalogued in due course.
