The material consists of official annual communication programs issued by the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Oregon documenting Black fraternal governance mutual aid ceremonial leadership and community organization through structured leadership hierarchies public ceremonies youth initiatives scholarship programs and affiliated women's organizations. The archive provides evidence for the study of African American civic institutions in the Pacific Northwest particularly within Oregon where exclusionary racial laws and a comparatively small Black population historically limited the development of Black organizational infrastructure.

Programs measure between approximately 6 x 9 inches and 8.5 x 11 inches and range from 44 to 73 pages.

1969Best.-Nr. 214941969. African American Fraternal Organizations Prince Hall Freemasonry Archive documenting Prince Hall Freemasonry and African American fraternal life from the 1940s through the 1990s illustrating the role of Black Masonic organizations as enduring centers of fellowship leadership mutual support and community organization. Spanning approximately five decades and including material from Pennsylvania Louisiana and Illinois the collection traces Prince Hall activities from formal lodge banquets and Grand Lodge meetings to membership records and the funerary traditions surrounding members of the broader Masonic community. Archive of 7 pieces including three approximately 8.5 x 11 inch press photographs dating from the 1940s through the 1960s a 1969 Golden Star Lodge No. 143 yearbook two 1993 funeral programs and a birthday roster containing members' names and contact information. Together the material provides a cross-section of the institutional and social life sustained by African American fraternal organizations during the mid- and late twentieth century. A 1946 photograph records a large gathering of Pittsburgh's Golden Shield Lodge No. 69. Black lodge members and their female guests fill two long banquet tables beneath a prominent "Golden Shield Lodge No. 69" banner. The image provides a striking visual record of the lodge as a social institution extending beyond formal Masonic ritual into the wider community of members spouses families and guests. A 1969 photograph taken at the annual workshop of the M.W. Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Louisiana in New Orleans shows three African American Masons in suits conferring during the proceedings. They are identified on the verso as W.S. Finister Jr. Rufus Mayfield and Richard Turnley. The photograph documents the administrative and leadership structure of Prince Hall Masonry and the organized exchange between members that helped sustain its network of local lodges. Also included is the 1969 yearbook of Golden Star Lodge No. 143 of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Its cover bears the Masonic square and compass and records the lodge's meeting place at 143 Orr Street in Pittsburgh. The volume contains membership information meeting schedules guiding principles and tributes to past Worshipful Masters and other members documenting the importance placed upon institutional continuity leadership and collective memory within Black Freemasonry. Two funeral programs from 1993 illustrate the close relationship between African American fraternal religious and community life. A "Home Going Service" for Sister Mattie White was held at Central Baptist Church in Pittsburgh under the direction of Dr. Isaac Green and includes a portrait of White dressed in white. Her identification as "Sister" may indicate participation in a Masonic-affiliated women's organization although a specific affiliation cannot be established from the program alone. A "Service of Triumph" for John Columbus Coger held at New Hope Temple Baptist Church in Philadelphia similarly preserves the dignified commemorative traditions through which African American communities memorialized their members. A September birthday roster listing individuals' names addresses and telephone numbers further documents the interpersonal networks maintained through such organizations. Although utilitarian in purpose records of this kind provide unusually direct evidence of the everyday social infrastructure underlying fraternal organizations: the personal connections through which members maintained relationships beyond formal meetings and ceremonies. Prince Hall Freemasonry developed from the efforts of Prince Hall and other free Black men in eighteenth-century Massachusetts who sought participation in a Masonic tradition from which African Americans were largely excluded. African Lodge No. 459 received its charter from the Premier Grand Lodge of England in 1784 establishing the institutional foundation from which Prince Hall Freemasonry developed. Over subsequent generations its lodges became important institutions within African American communities fostering networks of fellowship mutual assistance civic engagement and leadership at a time when racial segregation excluded Black Americans from many white civic and fraternal organizations. Spanning the 1940s through the 1990s the present archive demonstrates the continuity of those networks across the transformations of the Civil Rights and post-Civil Rights eras. The photographs lodge publication membership material and funeral programs document Prince Hall Freemasonry not simply as a ceremonial organization but as part of a broader infrastructure of Black civic and community life connecting fraternal affiliation with social gatherings institutional leadership churches families and remembrance. Minor edge wear and age-related handling. Photographs retain original editorial markings in margins and on versos. Overall very good condition. unknown

1914Best.-Nr. SHEL114Tuxedo New York 1914: n.p. 1914. Soft cover. Very Good. Not a book. Original document. 9 1/2" x 14" in original frame & under glass. Sealed by a Notary Public in Tuxedo Orange County New York. Initially it appears to be related to a young women's society or club but there is more to it that meets the eye. It has the notary seal with a ribbon that partially reads "R GIRLS" over it & is signed in ink by 29 people 4 of whom are the "Managing Committee" and two of whom are signed under the ribbon. All but the two names under the ribbon have small orange seals beside them. Typed in light print and with three corrections the document reads "It is here-by agreed that we the undersigned on the day and date here-in after mentioned will be one of the party going to Monroe starting from Tuxedo at seven oclock sic in the afternoon on the Nineteenth day of January One Thousand nine hundred and four." Etc. etc. Below the seal & above the four signatures of the managing committee is written in red ink "Red Lemonade Tablets to be used will be strictly in accordance with the formula of the I. D. G. T. The frame is backed with narrow slats upon which there is a label with the following written in ink: "Presented to the "Mystic Seven" January 26th - 1904 by the "oudinae Four". Therein lies a clue and a mystery. There is on the internet information about the "Mystical Seven". The website includes a long essay on the subject and cites a 1907 encyclopedia entry re the society "which is now thought to be dead was in some respects one of the most remarkable and most ambitious college societies in the country" with its roots in the history of Freemasonry in the country. The website gives the history of the "Mystical Seven" which lately continued to exist at Wesleyan. There are further and extensive connections to the history of Freemasonry in the United States to Wesleyan University Methodism & much more. Perhaps the reference to "the Mystic Seven" is only a kind of knock-off from the real thing but the reference is nonetheless intriguing. The names on this document include the names of both men and women although almost of the signatures are first two initials and then last names. This is an unusual document to say the least and undoubtedly a rare piece. n.p. unknown
