The collections at the Library and Museum of Freemasonry
at Great Queen Street, London have recently been recognised
as amongst the most important collections in the country and
have been awarded Designated status by the Museums,
Libraries and Archives Council.
The Designation Scheme identifies the pre-eminent
collections of national and international importance held
in England’s non-national museums, libraries and archives,
based on their quality and significance. The Library and
Museum joins 127 other collections in being designated.
Speaking at the ceremony held to present the award at
the Library and Museum in August, the Director,
Diane Clements, welcomed the Library and Museum’s
Designated status
She commented: “Anyone who visits the Library and
Museum will realise what a wonderful collection is housed
there. Acknowledging that this collection is of international
significance is a tribute to those many members over the
years who have made items with great craftsmanship, or
commissioned Masonic items for themselves or their Lodge
for a special occasion.
“I hope that it will encourage even greater use of the
collections as research resources by the public, students
and researchers from all over the world.”
