For those who have New York State Quaker ancestry, I thought you'd be
interested in this notice I just received about the New York Yearly
Meeting records. NYYM takes in northern New Jersey and a little bit
along the New England border as well.

NYYM Records at the New York Public Library

Friends might like to know that NYYM historical documents, originally
held at the Haviland Records Room at 15 Rutherford Place in Manhattan
and later conveyed to the Friends Historical Library of Swarthmore
College, are now available on microfilm at the New York Public Library,
42nd Street and Fifth Avenue, New York City. Friends wishing to consult
the microfilms will need to obtain an access card on the third floor of
the library (South Reading Room­­take along photo ID). You may apply for
the card in advance from the library's Web site, but you will still need
to go to the third floor to have your picture taken and to receive the
card. Once you have the card, go to the Microfilm Reading Room on the
first floor (southwest corner, Room 100). The microfilms are stored
under call number *ZAN-13987: Reels 10-326. However, in order to
determine which reel contains the information you seek, you will need to
consult a printed guide that they keep behind the librarian's desk in
the microfilm room (*ZAN-13987+). The guide will provide you with a list
of the contents of each reel, organized by monthly meeting. For example,
the minutes of Brooklyn Monthly Meeting from 1975-1990 will be found on
reel 28. The on-line catalogue entry of the New York Public Library
(CATNYP) lists "New York Yearly Meeting records" as the title of these
documents, and the description indicates that "Certain reels may be
consulted only with the permission of New York Yearly Meeting."
