The Grand Chapter of the State of New York, Royal Arch Masons has warranted the Thomas Smith Webb Chapter For Royal Arch Research as the first Royal Arch Chapter to be solely devoted to Royal Arch research and scholarship.
The purpose of the Chapter is to encourage Royal Arch Masonic research and study by its members and others, to present findings and conclusions to the Chapter for discussion and interchange of judgment, to sponsor discussion and debate topics pertaining to Royal Arch Masonry.

Excellent site. However, I doubt their claim to be "the first Royal Arch Chapter to be solely devoted to Royal Arch research and scholarship". They only date their presiding office holders back to 2002, while, for instance, the City of Sydney Royal Arch Chapter of Research and Instruction (No. 101, USGC of NSW & ACT) had grown whiskers long before then (perhaps they meant the first in their jurisdiction).
