Centre for Research into Freemasonry and Fraternalism

The Centre for Research into Freemasonry and Fraternalism at the University of Sheffield was founded in 2000.

Together with Equinox Publishers, the centre launched the first ever academic journal in the area, the Journal for Research into Freemasonry and Fraternalism,[1] an independent, international, peer-reviewed academic journal in the area of research into organized sociability in general and freemasonry in particular and as part of the former Academic Society for Research into Freemasonry and Fraternalism (ASRFF).

[3] Each issue contains academic research articles, reports on studies of freemasonry and book reviews on the subject.

[4][5] The Journal deals with various aspects of Freemasonry and Fraternalism and associated topics such as including politics, society, culture, art, history, music and other disciplines.

The Centre also published working papers within its research area on their website.
