1. Go to the IHS website and try searching "Abstracts of the Records
of the Society of Friends." You'll get to it.

2. They are a revised edition of Heiss. They include monthly
meetings established between 1875 and 1900 that are not in Heiss.
They include some record books that were not available to Heiss in
the 1960s and 1970s. (For example, in volume I, the Whitewater
abstracts include a volume of women's minutes that had long been
missing, and the Springfield abstracts include a membership record
that wasn't available in the 1960s.) They correct some mistakes and
omissions in the original edition. And each volume has an every-name
index.
