"The Library has manuscript records of many Rhode Island churches, with particular strength in records of Baptist and Congregational churches. Among the most comprehensive collections are the General Six Principle Baptist Archives and the records of the First Universalist Church of Providence, Congdon Street Baptist Church, and the First Congregational Church of Providence. The extensive archives of the First Baptist Church in America are on deposit and can be accessed only with permission of church historian Dr. J. Stanley Lemons, History Department, Rhode Island College, 600 Mount Pleasant Ave., Providence, Rhode Island 02908. | |||

"The Archives of the New England Yearly Meeting of the Society of Friends (the Quakers) are housed at the Rhode Island Historical Society Library. They are a separate institution, but the collection can be accessed via the RIHS staff and most of the early vital records can be accessed via microfilm in the Reading Room. The records cover most of the Quaker meetings in New England from 1676 to the present, and consist mainly of vital records and meeting minutes. Questions can be directed to the NEYM Archivist atneym@rihs.org. The 113-page Guide to the Records of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in New England was published in 1997 and is available for sale at the Rhode Island Historical Society. For more information about theNew England Yearly Meeting, visit their website." | |||
