Announcing Quaker Maps.com! | Jon Watts Vlog

For the past few months we have been working on compiling maps of all the Yearly Meetings in North American Quakerism into one site. It is not totally completed, but we're ready to unveil it nonetheless. Thus we give to you: http://www.QuakerMaps.com

Excellent work Micah & Jon-- can't wait to find out about getting our own page. Freedom Friends loves you guys!

Hi, Rich! Our plan is to include links to the websites of any MMs that have them. We are also offering the option to give local Meetings full control over the MM webpage on QuakerMaps, so that they can modify the information and style according to their own needs. Due to time constraints, on the pages that we maintain and update ourselves, we're only including location, meeting time, and website link, as well as a map for each local Meeting.

Hope this is helpful!

Micah! Found you here by accident while checking on Jon's videos. Great idea though local and area meeting webmasters over here seem to be a bit precious about their own styles and reluctant to 'amalgamate' them. (I'm Simon btw and look forward to working with you on QYP)

Another comment: You mention that "eventually" all listed meetings can have their own websites. My meeting already has its own website. Can meetings with existing websites attach them as they are to your map, rather than having you guys set up a new one for them?

I think this is a great project, but....

I see a problem that may only be because it's still a work in progress. My own meeting, the 15th Street Monthly Meeting (unprogrammed) in New York City is not shown (at least as far as I can see), though another meeting, the Manhattan Monthly Meeting (pastoral) is shown. Both meet at the same address which may make it a little harder to map them separately.

@heidebretagne Bonjour! We actually do have a listing for Friends in France. Look under "Continental European Friends."

Et je crois qu'il y a un petit group des Quakers en Bretagne! Dis moi ce que tu trouves, si'il te plait.

I think this is one of the coolest projects around and I'm loving the example you two are setting: small groups of committed Friends working diligently can put together something incredibly useful. Let me know any way I can help!

Nice idea, but actually I was hoping to find some information on Quaker Groups in France. Maybe you can help me and tell me where to look for ?
