I AM AN IRISH FREEMASON, AND A MEMBER OF THE IRISH LODGE OF RESEARCH NO. CC, WITH AN INTEREST IN THE COLLECTION AND HISTORY OF IRISH MASONIC JEWELS.
THE PURPOSE OF THE WEBSITE IS TO DISPLAY THE JEWELS I HAVE COLLECTED TO-DATE AND TO COLLATE AS MANY PAPERS AND ARTICLES AND AS MUCH INFORMATION ON IRISH MASONIC JEWELS AS POSSIBLE.
MY PRIMARY AIM IS THE PRESERVATION AND COLLECTION OF IRISH MASONIC JEWELS ( see "JEWELS WANTED !" at bottom of page )
THE CONTENT OF WHAT YOU MIGHT EXPECT TO FIND ON THIS SITE IS INDICATED BY THE VARIOUS HEADINGS TO THE LEFT OF THIS SCRIPT, UNDER THE HEADING "CATEGORIES OF JEWELS".
AS YOU CAN SEE ALL BRANCHES OF THE ORDER IN IRELAND ARE SET OUT FROM "CRAFT JEWELS" TO "PRINCE MASONS" AND THE JEWELS CONTAINED IN THESE SECTIONS ARE FROM MY COLLECTION.
FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN YOU CLICK ON "CRAFT JEWELS" YOU WILL BE DIRECTED TO A LIST OF JEWELS CONTAINED IN THAT CATEGORY.
TO ACCESS A PARTICULAR JEWEL YOU "CLICK" THE NAME OF THE LODGE AND WILL BE BROUGHT TO A SEPARATE WEBPAGE FOR EACH JEWEL.
THE WEBPAGE WILL, DEPENDING ON THE SECTION, HAVE A PICTURE OF EACH JEWEL AND ANY AVAILABLE INFORMATION I HAVE ON THE JEWEL AND THE LODGE/CHAPTER ETC IN QUESTION.
Emerald Isle Lodge No. 19 Originally of The 1st Battalion of the Connaught Rangers, 88th Foot.
AS I ALSO HAVE AN INTEREST IN MILITARY HISTORY YOU NOTE THAT WHERE A LODGE HAS A MILITARY CONNECTION I HAVE, WHERE POSSIBLE, GIVEN A HISTORY OF THE REGIMENT IN QUESTION.
PAST ACTING MASTER'S JEWEL R.W. GRAND MASTER'S LODGE.
THE JEWELS SET OUT IN "CRAFT JEWELS" CONTAIN VARIOUS JEWELS OF THE CRAFT, (MAINLY PAST MASTER'S JEWELS), AND EACH JEWEL SECTION CONTAINS A PICTURE /PICTURES OF THE JEWEL, A DESCRIPTION OF THE JEWEL, A HISTORY OF THE WARRANT NUMBER ASSOCIATED WITH THE LODGE FROM WHERE THE JEWEL ISSUED , AND A HISTORY OF THE LODGE NAMED ON THE JEWEL - [ IN IRISH FREEMASONRY A WARRANT CAN HAVE BEEN RE-ISSUSED ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS ~ FOR EXAMPLE SEE LODGE NO. 415 FOR WHICH I HAVE TWO JEWELS BUT DIFFERENT LODGES ].
THE INFORMATION REGARDING THE WARRANT AND LODGE HISTORIES IN THIS CATEGORY HAS HAS BEEN FURNISHED FROM THE IRISH MASONIC RECORDS CD-ROM BY R.W. BRO. KEITH COCHRANE ~ FOR INFORMATION ON HOW TO PURCHASE THIS MOST VALUABLE MASONIC RESEARCH TOOL PLEASE GO TO THE ACKOWLEDGEMENTS PAGE ON THIS SITE.
