Checking out Friends Journal and Quaker History
Our Meeting Library subscribes to two journals, linked above, which we welcome you to check out.
Friends Journal is published 11 times a year, including a combined June/July issue. The library keeps a five-year backfile of print copies, but did you know that Friends Journal online includes a searchable archive back to 1955 when Friends Journal began as a merger of The Friend (Orthodox, 1827—1955) and The Friends Intelligencer (Hicksite, 1844—1955).
In addition to the archive the online Friends Journal includes more articles, book reviews, videos, and podcasts on Quaker beliefs, values, worship and history.
Quaker History, is the journal of the Friends Historical Society. It is more scholarly than Friends Journal and is currently published twice a year. We keep all back print issues but as a subscriber Moorestown Meeting also has access to Quaker History online from 2019 to the present. On the Quaker History website under “Publications” click on “Quaker History member access” and use the password “quaker” (all lower case.)
Although we are delighted for you to check out our print copies, we hope you will also take advantage of the rich resources provided by the online versions. To make that even easier for you, we now offer links to the online editions of Friends Journal and Quaker history right below the link to our library catalog on our webpage. Check them out today!
Did you know we have non-print Media in our Meeting Library?
Our Meeting Library is not just books. We have a small but interesting media collection you are welcome to check out. All of our media is cataloged and searchable in our TinyCat online catalog. Most of our media items are shelved within the book collection. So, if you are interested in a biography of George Lakey, you will find the DVD of Citizen George in the biographies on the shelf next to the book Dancing with History: A Life for Peace and Justice. The DVD An Inconvenient truth sits next to book of the same name. We have 12 DVDs on everything from Christian history to introductions to Quakerism.
In both our adult and juvenile collections, we have music CDs. From Bach to banjo music, to children’s songs about peace, these CDs are also shelved within the book collections. We also have the Bible both on CD and in audiotape.
One collection of media that is not shelved with the books is our audio cassette tape collection and these are in a drawered storage case on the East windowsill. The tapes include a series of six lectures given shortly after September 11, 2001, entitled the Pendle Hill Monday evening forum. There are also recordings of talks by David Richie, Howard Thurman and M. Basil Pennington well worth listening to.
If, in these days of streaming, you have no way to listen to these tapes or CDs, no problem. We also have a CD player and an audiocassette player that you are welcome to borrow. Just sign them out on the same sign out sheet you use to sign out a book!
