Cataloging the 700 chartered Lodges of Virginia

Monday, 22 December 2025 04:03

I was assigned a task by the Grand Lodge to catalog every Lodge that has ever been chartered in Virginia. I have a total of 708 so far, a book I found from 1984 was a godsend, it listed all the Lodge until then, but there are 41 years since I need to cover. But I am reading all the Proceedings from 1778 to present, to verify each of the chartered and inactive dates, as well as anything interesting.

It's a lot to read through, but fascinating stuff.
