Oregon Masonic News Then and Now MR
With the recent posting of the new project that the MWB Robert M. Richmond Memorial Library and Museum has begun with the scanning of all available Oregon Mason / Oregon Freemason Magazines it has become necessary to share the evolution of this wonderful magazine.
WB Michael Robinson wrote a wonderful paper on this topic a few years ago. His paper gives all of the history in one source.

Oregon Freemason – Magazine
A new project has began at the MWB Robert M. Richmond Memorial Library and Museum.
Scanning project of the Oregon Freemason Magazine that was very popular from the 1940’s – 1970’s.
The first year available within the library was 1943 and this is now available for view.
These files are fully searchable which is very interesting when looking for a specific lodge, surname or event.
Oregon Freemason Digital Archives GLO – Fully searchable.
John Sherer Masters Carpet
A wonderful find today. In a folder for Union No. 3 in McMinnville was a little gem. a small folding booklet. Inside was an item I have never seen before. Inside was a Masters Carpet Certificate for a Freemason dated 1857. What makes this item so fantastic is that it is a minature of the Large Masters Carpets that are in many lodges through out America. This one is different where it has the Masters Carpet and at the bottom area for the Brothers Names and Degree Dates and Affiliation. Awesome Find!
