The first Freemasons' lodge in British Columbia was formed in 1860. Holding its 19 March 1859 charter from the Grand Lodge of England, the lodge was styled Victoria Lodge No. 1085 E.R. [English Registry]. It was followed by Union Lodge No. 1201 E.R., formed at New Westminster in 1861. During the colonial period seven other lodges were established on Vancouver Island and the mainland. The lodges were: Vancouver Lodge No. 421 S.C. [Scottish Constitution; i.e. chartered by the Grand Lodge of Scotland], established in Victoria in 1862; Nanaimo Lodge No. 1090 E.R. and Caledonia Lodge No. 508 S.C. (both formed in Nanaimo in 1867); British Columbia Lodge No. 1187 E.R. (Victoria, 1867); Cariboo Lodge No. 469 S.C. (Barkerville, 1867); Mt. Hermon Lodge No. 491 S.C. (Burrard Inlet, 1869); and Quadra Lodge No. 508 S.C. (Victoria, 1870). In October 1871 representatives from the various lodges agreed to establish an overall governing body for Freemasonry in the province: the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of British Columbia. Dr. Israel Wood Powell was elected first Grand Master. A new constitution, acknowledging both the English and Scottish rituals was adopted and affiliated lodges were renumbered in accordance with a separate British Columbia Registry [BCR]. Thus, Victoria No. 1085 became Victoria Lodge No. 1 BCR; Vancouver No. 421 S.C. became Vancouver Lodge No. 2 BCR, and so forth. The records of the Grand Lodge of British Columbia form the bulk of MS-0002. However, the collection also includes records of various affiliated lodges, correspondence of the Vancouver Lodge of Perfection (The Scottish Rite), account books of Masonic temple associations, as well as historical notes on Freemasonry in British Columbia. Because of its disparate nature, the collection has been organized and arranged under several distinct categories: I. GRAND LODGE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA Includes general correspondence (1852-1939), minute books and porch books i.e. attendance books (1868-1917), Board of Benevolence correspondence (1923-1938), applications for initiations (1953-1956), and financial statements (1936-1955). Also includes early records of Mt. Hermon Lodge (formed in Moodyville, 1869 and relocated in Vancouver, 1886). II. MASONIC ASSOCIATIONS Mainly correspondence, minutes, and financial records of Vancouver Masonic Temple Association (1910-1927) and Victoria Masonic Temple Association (1877-1962). These associations were legal entities having responsibility for the halls and meeting rooms used by the various lodges in Victoria and Vancouver. III. INDIVIDUAL LODGES A. Victoria-Columbia Lodge No. 1 BCR (formed by the amalgamation of Victoria Lodge No. 1 and British Columbia Lodge No. 5 on 29 Mar 1877) includes original correspondence and minutes of Victoria Lodge No. 1085 E.R.
