Scope and Contents

This series consists primarily of Brooklyn Court No. 4's annual reports, official certificates of petition for initiation and membership as well as dimits (written certifications of honorable resignation and sometimes transfer from one court to another), notices, invitations and summonses to regular meetings, and financial records and transactions.

In addition, the series contains a register of Brooklyn Court No. 4 with membership entries and status spanning the full timeline of the collection. A one-time commissioned "Historian's Scrapbook," containing loosely collected ephemera related to Brooklyn Court No. 4, documents the period from December 15, 1920 to November 20, 1922.

Of special interest is an edict from Mrs. Marvel M. Hicks, Supreme Royal Matron (Cleveland, OH), and Alfred D. Schorr, Supreme Royal Patron, on Bill of Rights Day (December 15th) in 1941, documenting the Order's response to the United States' entrance into the Second World War.
