Scottish Constitution Freemasonry Supports

This super Facebook page keeps brethren up to date with the Scottish Craft across the world—please like the page here. Below is a flavour of some of the good deeds of Scottish lodges here and abroad.

Indiana Centre for Research into Fraternal Orders

The new Indiana University Research Centre is devoted to the collecting, protecting, and sharing of fraternal collections for the sake of research and public engagement. We hope to improve scholarship and understanding of fraternal groups, explore their impact on American society, and elucidate their importance across time and to different social groups.

Whether you are interested in famous fraternal traditions such as Freemasonry, influential women's auxiliaries and orders, fraternal groups that served important roles in African Americanorothercommunities,orotherordersthathaveservedascornerstonestoAmericancities and towns, we hope that you will find the Center for Fraternal Collections and Research to be an exciting and welcoming place for your academic and personal inquiry.

The centre will provide three types of scholarly support to students and the public:

• The collection and stewardship of rare fraternal organization materials donated to Indiana University, for the sake of scholarly research. • Creating and supporting research related to fraternal studies at the student and faculty scholarly levels. • Disseminating research and information related to fraternal studies via public events, academic symposia, exhibitions, media presentations, and publication.
