Meeting for Sufferings was established in 1758 and was held quarterly to represent and hold any business of the Yearly Meeting while it was not in session. Its early duties included overseeing the Society's publications. In 1828, the Meeting for Sufferings split along the Hicksite/Orthodox lines, continuing in two separate committees. Both Committees changed their names to Representative Committee, in 1869 and 1859, respectively. The Orthodox Yearly Meeting changed the name of its Representative Meeting to Permanent Board in 1902 to conform to the Uniform Discipline. Reunited in 1955 as the Representative Committee (see 6/2/1955 minutes), the committee still meets biannually.

United SW RG2/NYy/058 Membership and Directories

Starting in 1828 with a list of members in each monthly meeting, at the time of the Hicksite/Orthodox Separation, the Directory or Membership list of the Yearly Meeting is used to keep record of numbers of members, and to give a brief statement on date of formation, and times each meeting gathers. This list continued separately throughout the split and has come together in the reunification. It continues to be updated, but the last date of publication for a full Directory of the New York Yearly Meeting Friends as of yet is 1970. The Hicksites published a new directory approximately every 5 years. Post reunification, it was published every 2-3 years.

The book of Discipline was used as a guide for the Religious Society of Friends; rules to be followed by its members. The first published edition of the New York Yearly Meeting Discipline was in 1800, and was soon followed by a revision edition in 1810. The last edition before the Orthodox and Hicksite split was in 1826. The Hicksites published Disciplines from 1830 to 1950; the Orthodox published Disciplines from 1859 to 1930. The first Discipline published post reunification was also the first edition with its new name, Faith and Practice, in 1956. It continues to be published today.
