Scottish Rite Symposium next month’

    
Unless my memory really is failing, this is the first I’ve heard of this, but the Scottish Rite Research Society has a symposium planned for next month, and the call for papers is out. From the publicity:


The Indiana University Center for Fraternal Collections and Research is proud to host the 2023 Scottish Rite Research Society Symposium on October 14, 2023. Everyone is welcome to attend! The event will be held in the historic McCalla Building on the beautiful campus of Indiana University.

The symposium will feature a mix of presentations and panels. The Scottish Rite Research Society is one of the most dynamic forces in contemporary Masonic research, making it a natural partner for IU’s Fraternal Center.

The schedule of speakers will be posted as presenters are confirmed.

Call for Papers

The SRRS is interested in papers of interest to Society members, such as history of Freemasonry and the Rite, Masonic symbolism and philosophy, development and changes in ritual over time, and similar topics. Download the Call for Papers document for details. The deadline for submission of papers is October 1, 2023.

‘Help preserve Masonic history’

    
CFCR

There exists an opportunity for you to preserve artifacts, regalia, ephemera, and other pieces of fraternal history. Indiana University’s Center for Fraternal Collections and Research put out a call last week for your donations of such items.

The idea is for you to contact CFCR here, and discuss the pieces that might be maddening clutter to you, but could prove to be essential for scholarly understanding of America’s vast history of fraternalism.
