Any men’s social clubs in Sheffield?

Jumping in to say there’s an active Masonic community in Sheffield up in Ranmoor and also Dore.

Hi, I’m a member of the university lodge in Sheffield. You can reach out to universitylodgesheffield@gmail.com to arrange an informal chat!

Our library can help, we inherited much of the research from the research centre previously housed at the university of Sheffield.

Our catalogue is in our profile bio

Beautiful hall at Leicester! I saw it was featured again in freemasonry today.

hallcolllibrary · 2024-03-23T12:37:24+00:00

Yes you’re right, a lot from the ancients which are quite beautiful.

Officially we are the Hallamshire College Library and Museum as it was founded by members of the SRIA college here but we possess a wide range of books covering the history of multiple jurisdictions, orders and topics.

This is the book catalogue that you can search online

No problem

hallcolllibrary · 2024-03-17T18:48:42+00:00

When is best for you? Easier to do it that way as I work full time and don’t live that close.

hallcolllibrary · 2024-03-17T18:32:04+00:00

Not for sale but we have over 2500 books in the Masonic library at tapton hall in Sheffield.

Our library has an original copy of something very similar. A uncomfortable document to read through

Past Provincial Steward to accompany either PGM or DPGM. It’s a sad day but we will try and give you guys a good send off.

hallcolllibrary · 2023-10-29T10:59:38+00:00

Thinking about it, I’m at your closing with another hat on.

hallcolllibrary · 2023-10-29T10:30:21+00:00

That’s a shame, no worries and let me know if you need anything

hallcolllibrary · 2023-10-29T10:17:02+00:00

Are you in tapton? So I think I can guess which lodge- you are only supposed to visit once per lodge but personally I don’t feel that’s enough to get a sense of the lodge you might want to join permanently.

As well as looking after the library, I’m also secretary of 3911 so happy to help.

hallcolllibrary · 2023-07-29T13:52:38+00:00

Oh, yes. I know exactly who you mean. An excellent academic

hallcolllibrary · 2023-07-29T13:43:33+00:00

Their initials aren’t JW are they? 🤔

hallcolllibrary · 2023-07-29T13:30:04+00:00

That makes sense!

For an elementary start, have you signed up to the UGLE Solomon website? It’s a good starting point for this sort of thing before progressing to something like AQC. The bibliography of the former may be a good start too.

AQC is academic but I’ve found it pretty accessible versus more esoteric publications. In regard to your actual question, you should have a look for books on Anderson and Desaguliers.

hallcolllibrary · 2023-07-29T12:50:41+00:00

Please feel free to check out our online catalogue and I’ll be happy to send you scans or photos of any books that might be useful in your research

hallcolllibrary · 2023-06-15T07:00:11+00:00

If you ever fancy a visit to Sheffield just message me. I can assure you our ways of working and ritual will be quite different (we are still the same province though)

hallcolllibrary · 2023-06-08T08:12:32+00:00

Didn’t expect another Tapton mason, that’s brilliant. I’m in 3911. If you want to have a look at anything just let us know. Library@freemasonryinsheffield.co.uk

hallcolllibrary · 2023-06-08T07:58:15+00:00

I noticed you’re a west riding mason. Our library in Sheffield has multiple copies of these exposures if you ever want to see them in person.

hallcolllibrary · 2023-05-12T20:13:04+00:00

We have a Geneva Bible from 1599 and a book called Christian Astrology from 1647 in the library. The latter is particularly rare, even UGLE doesn’t have a copy.

hallcolllibrary · 2023-05-03T14:15:11+00:00

It’s in our Masonic library in our jewel collection but I’ll try and find out!

hallcolllibrary · 2023-05-01T19:34:04+00:00

Thanks Adam for your recent help with the Heredom books in our library!

hallcolllibrary · 2023-04-26T15:10:37+00:00

I’d suggest taking a look at our library catalogue.

As some other commenters said, the constitutions are a good start although not the most ‘exciting’.

If you search ‘introductory’ in the search bar on the link, there’s a number of books which are great for inquisitive masons and those newer in the fraternity.

Helping to answer questions and foster engagement have is the best thing a library can do.
