Website: Pietre Stones

More and more literature on the history of freemasonry is being made available on the net, for instance on the Italian website Pietre Stones, Review of Freemasonry. The site provides reprints of articles by academic researchers, as well as online versions or pdf-files of 18th century exposures on freemasonry. It also makes the work of well-known 19th and 20th century authors, such as Gould and Mackey, available to a wide audience.
There are some points of criticism: first time visitors might have some trouble navigating the site, and making a clear distionction between articles with academic and masonic viewpoints is left to the reader. But the continual expansion of the information adds to the importance of this site for students and scholars.
