"This second edition is a welcome update to this valuable resource. While the background, organization, migration patterns, meeting records, and the methodological problems associated with the history and records of the Religious Society of Friends remain the same, since the book’s first publication in 1986 the digitization of records and the advent of the Internet have made Quaker resources far more widely available. Many Quaker organizations have a current website that lists their holdings, contact information, and maybe digitized records or PDF transcripts. Accordingly, this second edition includes a new section devoted to websites, as well as a new bibliography of online resources." --provided by Goodreads.
