At each Meeting for Business, a Recording Clerk takes Minutes, which are then typed and reviewed at the following month's meeting.  These Minutes are the official record of the Meeting's decisions and considerations.  They are also an important resource for both the Meeting and historical archives held at W.E.B. Du Bois Library at the University of Massachusetts Amherst

Format guidance is below and an attached, marked up set of Minute pages as the example of the current format guide for Recording Clerks.  A consistent format helps current and future readers locate the information they may be seeking.
