The Grand Lodge of East Jamaica Freemason collection documents Masonic practice in late-1800s Jamaica. It includes papers belonging to Herman John Bürger, including correspondence and membership papers. Also includes a bound book of transcribed correspondence between Bürger and Willoughby DaCosta about Freemasonry which appears to be didactic, although only the letters from DaCosta remain. This collection contains correspondence, notes detailing the secret ceremonies and structure of Masonry (inducing Scottish Rite and York Rite), membership certificates, and a Catholic anti-Masonic pamphlet on secret societies. Notes detailing ceremonies and structure include handwritten notebooks and loose papers, possibly written by different people.
