Happy New Year!
The Canadian Friends Historical Association is excited to announce our upcoming lecture series. Given the success of the keynote presentation at our last AGM by the authors of Quakerism in the Atlantic World, 1690-1830, we have invited each author back to share their findings in a series of ten online lectures.
The virtual series begins Saturday, January 15th, and will run every second Saturday. All lectures will take place at 0900 Pacific / 1200 Eastern / 1700 UK on Zoom. Following the chapters of the volume, each short lecture will run for thirty minutes and include a question and answer period at the end.
Quakerism in the Atlantic World is the third volume in Penn State University Press’s New History of Quakerism series. Catered towards a broad readership, this book examines experiences and facets of Quakerism in the long eighteenth century.
We are thankful to each author for agreeing to generously share their time and research with us, and we welcome you to join us for this excellent new series.
Watch for information regarding registration in the coming days!
