 BIOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL NOTE

Quakers Uniting in Publications (QUIP) was first proposed at Pendle Hill, the Quaker conference and study center in Wallingford, Pa., in November 1983. After a series of informal meetings, the first formal meeting was held in February 1984 at Pendle Hill. The group intended to have a focus on how to let potential readers know what Quaker books are available and how to get them. This included maintaining databases of Quaker publications, negotiating wholesale prices for the publications, creating forums for editorial concerns and discussions, creating centers for the distribution of Quaker books, holding annual meetings for education, and starting a fund to assist in production and distribution of Quaker publications. The group is still active and recently has begun cooperative publishing.
