Description

Minutes and occasional treasurers' reports of the organization known at different times as the Society for the Free Instruction of African Females, the Society for the Free Instruction of Females of Color, and the Association of Friends for the Free Instruction of Colored Women, which eventually merged with the Association of Friends for the Free Instruction of Adult Colored Persons. The minutes discuss rules for the running of the organization, rules for the teachers and students, and reports on the occurrences at the school. The treasurers' reports detail the organization's income and expenses. The book also lists the names of the organization's members. Records skip 15 years between 1816 and 1831; it is not clear if the organization was active during that time. Blank pages were not scanned.
