An introduction to our Freemasonry Link Library?

This link library contains all sorts of internet listings for Lodge, personal, coordinate, affiliate and other groups or organizations that have Masonic orientation, allegiance or are otherwise related to the broad concept of the Masonic family of organizations.

The "Blue Lodge" and the "Master Mason" are considered by Masonry to be the highest attainable order of Freemasonry. One will find that the various Blue Lodges are the emphasis of our United States and Internaitonal listings. If we have a Grand Lodge in the geographical area of interest, those are listed first, with the Blue Lodges by town or area, if known, and subsequently followed by other coordinate and affiliate listings for that geographical area.

Commercial sites, reference materials and useful research sites not masonically affiliated are not listed by jurisdiction or by geographical area. Please consult the appropriate listing for those topics.

Some of these groups are very closely tied to the fraternity, some by being considered "advanced" degrees", others by requiring a Master Mason to be in attendance during meetings, or having a family relationship with a Master Mason for a condition of membership. Additionally some are recognized as "regular" in the eyes of Masonry, meaning that they are formally recognized by ones Grand Lodge, the Masonic equivalent of enjoying diplomatic relations.

Others practice Freemasonry and its virtues, but may not have attained formal recognition with one or the other of the Grand Lodges to date. Many of these groups are recognized by some but not all of the Grand Lodges represented in these pages.

Some of these organizations have no direct (organizational) relationship to Freemasonry, but are organized to provide some fraternal or social function, motivated by the tenets of Freemasonry. These are exemplified by the various military, camping and occupational groups. Others are organized as entities to maintain buildings or other artifacts of Masonic interest.

All in all, these sites represent a diverse and interesting look at Freemasonry, and it is certainly our wish that all of you enjoy each and every one of them.

Please do contact us and let us know of your Masonic web sites. We would be honored to add them to our listings.
