Series XV. Masonic Literature, 1923-2005

Various printed materials related to the New York Council of Deliberation, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite Northern Masonic Jurisdiction. These materials were collected by members of the Cornell Chapter of Acacia Fraternity during the years of its formal affiliation with Masonry, 1907 to 1933. These materials survived the various moves of the chapter and were stored in the chapter library. In February 2012, as part of a complete renovation of the library, the decision was made by Thomas Balcerski and Steve Stein to relocate these materials to the Acacia Fraternity Records held by the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections. It is hoped these materials will be of interest to researchers of Masonic history and especially the history of Masons in New York State.
