In January 2021 a package from an unknown sender arrived at the Grand Lodge of Oregon Administration Building. Inside was a long picture of the Annual Communication of Prince Hall Grand Lodge Photograph 1946. The original photograph was donated to Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge F&AM of Oregon, Idaho and Montana, Inc. Past Grand Historian Brandon Lee.
Photographs were taken of this photograph. It is sad to report that the pictures ended up not being very clear however the GLO Masonic Museum is very happy to have a digital copy.

Description: Topical History of the Grand Lodge of Oregon A. F. and A. M. 1951
In 1951 John C. Wilkinson was the Grand Historian of the Grand Lodge of Oregon A. F. and A. M. for 24 years. He was also our first Grand Historian. He took it upon himself to gather all known records into one volume which he called, “Topical History of the Grand Lodge of Oregon A. F. and A. M.”
This historical volume is believed to have been the back bone to the Grand Lodge of Oregon A. F. and A. M. History Volume 1.
This volume has been out of print for over 60 years.
The GLO Museum has three copies and I know of only one other person who has a copy.
This digital copy has taken many months to create, and it is intended to be shared with all Brothers of the Ancient Craft.
This digital book is searchable by key word.
