Ric Berman
Ric Berman has been a Freemason for over forty years and has twice been the United Grand Lodge of England’s Prestonian Lecturer. He holds Grand Rank in England and is a Past Master of three English lodges, including Quatuor Coronati Lodge, the premier lodge of Masonic research, and chairs Quatuor Coronati’s Correspondence Circle (‘QCCC’), the oldest Masonic Research Society in the world.
Ric is a proud American Freemason, a member or hon. member of lodges across six states. He is a Fellow of the Philalethes Society, was inducted a member of the Society of Blue Friars, and is a former Anson Jones lecturer at the Texas Lodge of Research A.F.&A.M.
As a historian, Ric researches, writes and speaks on American, English and Irish Freemasonry, with a focus on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. He is the author of numerous journal articles and some ten books, and has given keynote talks and lectures worldwide. The most exciting part of any lecture or presentation is the Q&A that follows, and that is probably the most rewarding aspect of his scholarship.
Ric is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society in the United Kingdom. He holds a Master’s in Economics from the University of Cambridge and a Doctorate in History from the University of Exeter, following which Ric spent two years undertaking post-doctoral research at the University of Oxford’s Modern European History Research Centre. Born in London, he lives, writes and farms in rural Oxfordshire with his wife and five dogs.
