Thomas Pim Cope Diaries
Haverford College
Thomas P. Cope was a successful Philadelphia merchant and Quaker who involved himself in a wide range of civic projects during the first half of the 19th century. He kept a regular diary between 1800 and 1851, with a gap between 1820 and 1843. In his diary, Cope records his own numerous activities, events taking place in Philadelphia and the wider world, and reflections on Quakerism, business and many other topics. This collection contains digital facsimiles of the diaries along with their full-text transcripts.
