About Us

Masonic Sourcebook began as an exchange of information on Freemasonry between researchers in the USA and the UK. This site is relatively new, but should eventually contain articles on Masonic studies around the world, reflecting the best available research on Freemasons, the early history of the brotherhood, and how current practices, lodges, rites and usages came into being.

Freemasons like to say they do not belong to a secret society, but rather a society with secrets. If you enjoy exploring secrets, you are welcome to participate. You may submit the results of research performed or discovered by a lodge or by yourself. The purpose is to give good work a wider audience. Comments, queries or articles may be sent to:
