Masonic Analyst Magazine began with its first issue in 1923 and ran until the name was changed to

magazine printed throughout the decades just with different names until the Oregon Masonic News was
created in 1983.

A Century of Masonic Purpose 1951

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , , /by

The Grand Lodge of Oregon at the 1951 Annual Communication had the newly assigned Centennial Committee give a report on the progress of the upcoming September 1951 Centennial.

As a side note many Masonic Lodges in the Oregon Jurisdiction each were preparing for their own 100th Centennial Observance. In many of the lodge historical files held within the archives of the museum of the Grand Lodge of Oregon can be found the individual lodge centennial programs.

 

In 1951 an address was given at the Oregon City Senior Hight School.  The program was called, “A Century of Masonic Purpose”.

GLO Digital Archives Index – New Addition

/0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

Recently several three ring binders from the 1940’s surfaced created by PGM Carl Patterson.  His detailed typed notes on the creation and management of the Education Fund and Building Association is very detailed.  The reasoning and use of these notes are at this time not clear.

Two new additions to the GLO Digital Archives.  The Building Association which was a sub-committee to raise money and build Masonic Temples in the Portland Oregon area.

The ongoing collection of Education Fund records is growing all the time.  The new addition to the Digital Archives is enlightening.

Certificate of Standing from 1904 – Mint Condition

/0 Comments/in , /by

A very nice Certificate of Standing from 1904 surfaced yesterday folded within a small leather case.  The condition of this certificate was in mint condition as if it was created today.

The certificate is very creased at the folds so it is pictured without being forced flat.
