Dallas Scottish Rite Library & Museum
Dallas, Texas
Ever mindful of the fact that knowledge is the most effective weapon against ignorance, the foresighted leadership of the Scottish Rite has for decades devoted energy and resources to the creation and perpetuation of a library of commendable dimension, scope, and quality.
One of the foremost libraries in the Southwest devoted to Freemasonry, our library contains over 6,000 volumes, many of which date back to the early 15th century and are first editions on a variety of subjects of interests to Masonic Scholars.
The Dallas Scottish Rite Library is a “research” library. Preserving and securing our collection for future generations requires on-site review of our materials. Researchers can read, study, and relax in ease and comfort, surrounded by a great compendium of Masonic history and information.
