The importance of archival documents for understanding Masonic history. Digitization, preservation and access to Masonic heritage.

Freemasonry is a secular, philosophical, educational, philanthropic and initiatory institution with over 300 years of history. It unites people of different beliefs who share common moral and ethical values.

Freemasonry is not a religion, nor a political party — it is a school for moral improvement, using symbols, rituals and allegories as tools for teaching universal truths.
