historical records project
Grand Lodge is looking to assess what historical resources are available both within and outside the Craft to develop a better picture of the role Freemasonry has played in social history.
To ensure our future we need to protect our past. It is essential to list and assess the condition of all Lodge and Chapter records, many of which are being lost or destroyed in various ways.
W Bro Les Sinden has been appointed Co-ordinator of this project by the Provincial Grand Master and will be holding area meetings across the Province.
Four Meetings, in Hull, May 24th, Scarborough June 7th, Middlesbrough June 14th and York June 21st., will be held, where the Presentation explains, 1).What it is about., 2).Why it must be done., and, 3). How to do it! The Presentations last about 40 mins, allowing 20 mins or so for Questions, and viewing the Excel spreadsheet with active “notes”, “drop down menus” and the “split” facility; all of which make the job of listing the records, so much easier, than otherwise.
Every one of our Lodges and Chapters has a history, be it long or relatively short, so should recognise the importance of appointing someone to attend their area meeting.
