The Dr. Charles H. Wesley Masonic Research Society (CHWMRS) was an International Masonic Research Society which seeks to educate Prince Hall Freemasons about Prince Hall and Universal Freemasonry and Universal Freemasonry about Prince Hall Freemasonry.
The Society's membership was composed of regular Freemasons throughout the world. Their subjects of study and research also cover a wide range of interest and issues. The Society's core research discipline is focused on analyzing, researching and
solving key issues in Freemasonry and can be applied to the Prince Hall Masonic Order.
The Society was Established with Three Aims:
- Foster Masonic Research amongst Prince Hall Freemasons.
- Educate Freemasons and primarily Prince Hall Freemasons about Prince Hall and Universal Freemasonry.
- Encourage the ‘Thought’ process within all Freemasons.
