Old Economy Register of the Members of the Harmony Society, 1805-1905

About This Collection

Images of a register compiled between 1965 and 1971 from 3 x 5 cards that were possibly assembled under the Federal Writers' Project and containing 1,500 names of members of the Harmony Society. Old Economy Village Director Daniel B. Reibel compared the names in this register against the names published in Karl Arndt's George Rapp's Harmony Society, 1785-1847 (Cranberry, N. J.: 1971) but they have not been checked against the original records. If a date of death is given it means that the person died as a member of the Harmony Society. Images are arranged alphabetically by surname of member. This collection is part of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission which was created in 1945.
