Masonic Digital Library
The Masonic Digital Library is a collection of Masonic lectures, research papers and other material of interest to masonic researchers. The contents of the library are fully searchable and downloadable. It is an extension of the common practice of exchanging transactions by masonic research organisations. The library is promoted by the ANZMRC, and will shortly be accessible through this website. The ANZMRC acknowledges the assistance of the Grand Lodge of New Zealand in developing the web-based edition, and to both the GLNZ and the UGL of NSW & ACT for hosting the library on their computer systems. Thank you to both those Grand Lodges. The ANZMRC would be interested in offers to host a further mirror site in the USA or UK. The library collection includes over 2,500 electronic files. They are largely in PDF format, with a small number of PowerPoint files also included. Access to the library is generally restricted to members of organisations participating in the library– these organisations have committed to sharing future publications in electronic form, and providing past publications as they become available. Participation is not restricted to ANZMRC member organisations. Other organisations and individual authors have also provided files for the collection. A Masonic Research Organisation considering participation can obtain limited temporary access for evaluation purposes. If you are a Freemason but not a member of a participating organisation, it may be possible to become a member at a modest cost, and hence become eligible to access the Masonic Digital Library. Contact one of the Participating Organisations below. The Library is not open to all Freemasons. Users of the library may need to contact publishers to discuss use of particular files. Temporary access to the library may be provided to representatives of masonic research organisations that wish to consider participation. For all enquiries, please click the appropriate link below. |
