The Augustan Society, Inc., publishes a journal, presently semi-annually.
Formal title: The Augustan Omnibus: An International Journal of History, Heraldry, Genealogy, and Chivalry
Short title: The Augustan Omnibus
Informal title Omnibus
Note: The Formal title should probably be expanded to include either "Royalty", "Nobility", or both. There has been some discussion of this point with the Royalty & Nobility Committee, but they seem conflicted about whether "Nobility" is sufficiently encompassing.
