A research lodge is a Masonic lodge that is devoted to Masonic research. It is a lodge, and as such has a charter from some Grand Lodge. However, it does not confer degrees, and restricts membership to Master Masons of some jurisdiction in amity with the jurisdiction that the research lodge is in.〔Rush, Max. ("What is SCRL?" ) Accessed May 15, 2008.〕 Related to research Lodges are Masonic research societies, which serve the same purpose but function fundamentally differently. There are research lodges in most countries where Freemasonry exists. The oldest research lodge is Quatuor Coronati No. 2076, founded in 1886 under the jurisdiction of the United Grand Lodge of England. It accepts members from all over the world through its Correspondence Circle.〔(Quatuor Coronatorum Correspondence Circle website )〕 A book of transactions called ''Ars Quatuor Coronatorum'' (which includes the papers given in the lodge) has been published every year since 1886. Most research lodges have some type of transactions, proceedings, or even just a newsletter that is published regularly. ==America== * California has five research lodges chartered under the Grand Lodge of California: ::The Northern California Research Lodge〔()〕 in San Francisco, chartered in 1940; largest research lodge in the Western United States. ::The Southern California Research Lodge publishes a monthly newsletter and has an "Entered Apprentice's Program" to encourage new Masons to get interested in scholarly research.〔()〕 ::The El Camino Research Lodge,〔()〕 located in Palo Alto, California ::The Orange County Research Lodge〔http://www.ocresearchlodge.com/〕 ::The Golden Compasses Research Lodge,〔http://www.goldencompasses.org/〕 based in Folsom, Sacramento County. * Connecticut is home to two research lodges: ::The Philosophic Lodge of Research,〔http://www.philosophiclodgeresearch.org/〕 based in Cromwell ::The Masonic Lodge of Research No. 401,〔http://www.masoniclodgeresearch.org/〕 in New Haven * Delaware Lodge of Research,〔http://www.masonsindelaware.org/blue/research.htm〕 in Wilmington * The District of Columbia is home to the David A.
