Our Museum Collection
is Viewable Online
Curious what artifacts we preserve at the Washington Masonic Library & Museum? Our catalog is now viewable online! Check it out via the Washington Masonic Services website here.
Just some of the items viewable online include a Grand Lodge of Washington Territory Banner (c. 1858), panoramas of Washington Grand Lodge meetings held in the 1920s, historic lesser lights from Steilacoom Lodge 2, a Masonic Grandfather clock (c. 1910s), and so much more. Every month more museum artifacts are added to this digital collection. Remember to check back periodically to see what is new.
Washington State’s history is deeply connected with Freemasonry, a fact explored in depth at the Masonic Library & Museum. This institution sheds light on how Masons, including the state’s first governor and numerous influential figures, like legislators and judges, have shaped its governance and community. Even today, Masonic members play a significant role in various local and state sectors.
The museum showcases the enduring impact of Masonic values from the state’s early days to the present. Our professional curator works in partnership with the volunteers who are the Masonic Library & Museum’s foundation and have cared for it since its inception. Together, this team tends to approximately 50,000 Masonic books, photos, and documents, plus 6,000 artifacts that comprise our collections.
The Masonic Library & Museum is a service available to the individuals, lodges, and the community at large. Those seeking to expand their knowledge of Freemasonry will find this to be an invaluable resource, with many items available online. The professional expertise of the WAMS curator is an opportunity for lodges to learn best practices to safeguard the important Masonic artifacts that they hold.
