Introduction
Records Committee is committed to increasing access to the collections in its care. As part of this goal,
and in cooperation with a team of volunteers, the early Canadian minute books are being transcribed up to about 1850. Currently, minute books for
the Meetings at Adolphustown/West Lake (Prince Edward County and Lennox and Addington County), Pelham (Niagara), and Yonge Street (Newmarket) are being transcribed.

Volunteering
Volunteers are always needed! You can committ to transcribing as much or as little as you are able to do.
Its easy! The Transcription Coordinator will email you a digital photo of one page from a book
you are interested in transcribing. Open the image in your favourite photo imaging software
and transcribe the text into a Microsoft Word document. When its completed, email the transcribed page back
to the Coordinator.
Once all the pages are done, each transcribed page will be merged into one master document and
uploaded to the Quaker Archives and Library of Canada website. Transcribers are identified in the
document.
After you've completed your page, just let the Coordinator know if you want to receive more pages.
Please contact the
Transcription Coordinator for more information or to volunteer.
