Abstract

in hiding, for the late Wstorian, Moses Coit Tyler. Cooking receipts, doctors' prescriptions—everything has its value, and if not "old enough," time will make it so. The Friends' Historical Society, Friends' Library of Philadelphia, The Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Swarthmore College and Haverford College, with Westtown and other Friendly centres or schools, can all receive and safeguard such material. We are just now most interested that somewhere this shall be preserved. If, as is proposed, the Friends' Historical Society of Philadelphia is to become the Friends' Historical Society of America, this point must be doubly urged. The collection of Quakeriana at Haverford College is the largest and most valuable in the United States. If, as we hope, all these various headquarters, to name only those in Pennsylvania, become the receiving centres for the efforts of residents in their vicinity, or, for any reason, of persons most interested in those particular collections, the great object will have been attained. This magazine should be the medium of information regarding such work, reporting receipts and aiding collectors. With such cooperation, in prospect of a growing membership in the Society which this publication represents, there are great possibilities before us. Therefore, let all Friends or those who are descendants of Friends, and who are interested in Quaker history, see to it that their heirlooms reach a place of security during their lifetime.
