Though the purpose of this paper is partly characterised by its title, the author will attempt to go beyond the mere justification for conducting Masonic research by discussing some of the do's and don'ts of research writing, and research into matters of Masonic interest.
In covering these matters which the writer believes to he essential for research to produce honest and unbiased results, the reader should keep in mind that none of the statements herein are meant to be dogmatic or to discourage the would-be, first-time investigator by the sheer number of considerations to be obeyed; the intention is quite to the Contrary: to encourage Masonic research which will lead to useful conclusions and, through this paper, to provide a set of guidelines which can be tailored to specific applications.
