Hereditary Order of Armigerous Augustans
From Augustan Society Staff Wiki
| The Hereditary Order of Armigerous Augustans was a dependency of The Augustan Society, Inc., that was created ostensibly to promote the registration of arms, to provide for fellowship of armigerous Augustans, and to encourage the use of hereditary arms. |
| Membership required Augustan Membership in Good Standing and the Registration of Arms with the Society. Dues were collected and used for a variety of purposes, including publication of Heraldry and The Augustan Society Roll of Arms, purchase of heraldic decorations for Headquarters, and the purchase of books on the subject for the Library. |
| Activities of this group declined with the health of our Founder, and it was decided to suspend this activity in October 2012 "for review". Said review concluded that the suspension should be made permanent and the HOAA treasury be contributed to the Society's general fund. |
| It appears the general consensus of the Board was that the organization had no purpose, and appeared to have no intention of determining a purpose for its existence. It also drew limited volunteers away from other, more worthy programs. One would expect that a restoration of the group would have to be predicated upon the invention of such a compelling purpose, or on a reevaluation of the purposes stated above. |
