Illinois Lodge of Research

Louis L. Williams

Masonic Library

Library services include the following:

• Extensive collection of Masonic research materials for any researcher or Masonic scholar.

• Extensive (although not complete) set of proceedings for many states.  Complete set of Illinois Proceedings.

• Internet access in the library for research.

• Public access computer which can be used by any mason, as well as basic skills training for any mason interested.

• Photocopier for copying research materials.

• Research services.  The librarians will, at request, attempt to research questions for interested parties.  For extensive research questions, donations may be requested to cover research materials (copies, postage, etc).

It should be noted that genealogical queries can be researched at a most basic level, but most will likely be referred to the office of the Grand Secretary as Grand Lodge records are not kept at the library.
