This website would not have been worthwhile without the content provided by Irish Masonic Records. In the section category "Craft Jewels" the Masonic histories setout therein have, on the whole, come entirely from the Irish Masonic Records cd-rom. The histories and information on this website represents only a fraction of the content contained on the cd-rom.
