In November 1752, 20-year-old George Washington placed his hand on a leather-bound King James Bible at the Lodge of Fredericksburg and joined the Masons.<\/p>

For more than two and a half centuries, generations of the oldest fraternal organization in the world would take steps to guard that gilt-edged book, one of only two Washington is known to have sworn an oath on.<\/p>

The University of Mary Washington has now partnered with Fredericksburg Lodge No. 4 to digitally preserve the 1668 Bible for the ages.<\/p>

The 1668 Bible George Washington took each of his Mason obligations on has been fiercely guarded for centuries. <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>

\"This <\/a>
This month, Masons from Fredericksburg Lodge No. 4 met with UMW team responsible for digitally preserving their most prized relic. <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>

By the summer of 1753, Washington had taken three Masonry obligations on that book, rising to the final degree of Master Mason. When he swore his presidential oath of office – on another Mason Bible – the Revolutionary War hero was one of the most famous men in the world.<\/p>

“Everybody wanted something attached to him,” Fredericksburg Mason Dan Goodwin said, from locks of hair to buildings named in his honor.<\/p>

The lodge held fast to its now-historic Bible. When Union soldiers marched on Fredericksburg in 1862, Masons took care to hide it. Six decades later, in 1921, the relic went into a locked glass case. Members developed a protocol for loaning it; even then, at least two Fredericksburg Masons traveled with it.<\/p>

So far, the Bible had remained in remarkably good condition. Still, Goodwin said, “If something wasn’t done, 200 years from now it might not be available.”<\/p>

What, members asked themselves, could they do now so that Masons might always be able to enjoy it? The answer was digital preservation.<\/p>

They might have turned to any lab that offered the service. But collaboration between UMW and the Fredericksburg Lodge dated to 2015, when a member took a historic preservation course called Archives and Society.<\/p>

Carolyn Parsons, Head of Special Collections and University Archives at Simpson Library, taught it, covering everything from processing collections to working with born-digital records. Soon, three UMW students were organizing the lodge’s archive for the first time in its centuries-long history, with the Historic Preservation Department’s support. A year later, two more students – both historic preservation majors – continued their efforts. The volunteer work turned into an internship.<\/p>

In 2016, Michael Spencer, associate professor and director for the Center for Historic Preservation, put a group of students in his building forensics laboratory to work investigating the lodge’s 200-year-old building on Princess Anne Street.<\/p>

And there was more. In the spring of 2017, students in a collections management course taught by Associate Professor of Historic Preservation Cristina Turdean inventoried, accessioned and scanned hundreds of photographs, then placed them in archival-quality boxes and folders and cataloged them in the lodge’s database.<\/p>

This summer, the Masons turned their attention to their most prized possession: the George Washington Bible. It arrived at UMW’s Digital Archiving Lab in a foam-lined Pelican case.<\/p>

On the third floor of the Hurley Convergence Center, Digital Resources Librarian Angie White ’11 developed a plan to preserve it using the university’s rare book scanner<\/a>. She took photographs, turned it over carefully in her hands, considered the significance of it.<\/p>

“The chance to work with a piece of history,” White said, “is so incredible.”<\/p>

The book was in better shape, she said, than some a quarter of its age.<\/p>

Next came scanning – 418 pages in all – with old signatures and margin notes, fold-out maps and marbled papers. Some were torn and stained; other sections remained clean and intact after centuries of use by countless Masons.<\/p>

Finally, Mary Novitsky ’19, an art history major who never imagined she’d work with a Bible George Washington placed his hands on, created copies of each digital image, editing and cropping them for future facsimile prints.<\/p>

Earlier this month, they gathered around a table inside the lab – Parsons, White, Novitsky and three Masons.<\/p>

“We feel like a family when we work with you guys,” said Charles Cooper, the lodge’s treasurer.<\/p>

In front of them sat the Bible. Nothing could ever replace it. But a digitized copy means more people can access its pages, and what’s in them can never be lost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
