Archive of Germania Lodge No. 46
Archive of the Germania Lodge No. 46 1844-1973 174 Items EL 2. 2001 The archive of the Germania No. 46 Free Masons Lodge includes administrative records of the organization (membership petition books, registers, visitor books, receipt books, and meeting minutes), as well as volumes from its library, which was an important resource for its membership. Founded in 1844, the Germania Lodge was one of New Orleans’ first German organizations, and is the oldest surviving social organization in the City with a German history. German ethnicity or language ability, however, are no longer membership requirements. Also included in this collection is material from the Friends of Harmony Free Masons Lodge, which was incorporated into the Germania Lodge after 1957. This finding guide separates the materials of the collection into 12 categories: Library (divided further into “Freemasonry,” “Religion,” “Literature: German Classics,” “History/Politics,” and “Literature: Miscellaneous”) Bibles/Prayer Books, Bound Newspapers/Magazines, Petition Books, Registers, Visitor Books, Receipt Books, Minute Books, Loose Miscellanies, Additional Materials, Annual Returns to Grand Lodge/ Membership Lists, and Friends of Harmony. More detailed, page-by-page finding guides for each of the items in the Petition Books, Registers, Visitor Books, Receipt Books, Minute Books, Additional Materials, and Annual Returns to Grand Lodge/Membership Lists sections are available at the Williams Research Center.
