Quatuor Coronati

Quatuor Coronati Lodge is regarded rightly as the world’s premier research lodge. Established in 1884 and consecrated in 1886, the lodge champions an evidence-based approach to the study of Masonic history and research into the origins of Freemasonry. It was then - and is now - referred to as the ‘authentic school’ of Masonic research.

At its inception, Quatuor Coronati Lodge determined to share its research and provide support to Masonic scholars and researchers internationally through the QC Correspondence Circle - ‘QCCC’ – and the two organisations work together hand-in-hand.


Quatuor Coronati Lodge holds meetings incorporating lectures five times a year, principally at Freemasons’ Hall in London, which QCCC members are invited to attend. We publish our lectures, research papers and ‘notes & queries’ annually in Ars Quatuor Coronatorum, ‘AQC’, the Transactions of the Lodge, which is distributed worldwide to QCCC members and libraries, and is the oldest continually published Masonic research in the world. We also make available scarce and valuable works on Freemasonry; provide lecturers and speakers internationally; and arrange conferences and symposia on different aspects of Freemasonry.
