Abstract

This research note provides information about two Quaker libraries and archives: the Friends Historical Library of Swarthmore College (FHL) and the Quaker Collections at Haverford College (QSC). Although located near each other, FHL and QSC hold different collections and have different missions. This article will highlight their distinct missions, collections and projects; describe their shared projects and systems; and review their strengths and lacunae. Approaches to dealing with harmful language and to developing more inclusive collections is also addressed. Also included is information on scheduling visits, searching collections and what resources are available online.
