Members are appointed by the Editor-in-Chief and serve at his pleasure, but it is expected that the editors assigned to the various publications will comprise the bulk of the membership.
==Periodicals== ===''[[Augustæum]]''===
''Augustæum'' is the members newsletter. By definition, it carries news items from staff, committees, [[Study Groups]], [[Sub-Groups]], and individual members. It is restricted to items that are either not scholarly, or are not of enduring value (which should be sent to ''The [[Augustan Omnibus]]'' instead). It is intended to be published more frequently than the ''Omnibus'', but may be mailed with it.
Consuls have been authorized by a previous administration to conduct such an email survey. They are presently looking to combine this with a [[Member Interest Survey]] under the auspices of the [[Dean of Studies]].
===''The [[Augustan Omnibus]]''===
''The Augustan Omnibus'' is the present title of the Society's scholarly journal. As such, contents are restricted to items of enduring value that have appropriate citations in standard format, and to reviews of relevant books, websites, and software. Occasional exceptions are permitted, and recent ones have been memorial tributes to passed members, essays on philosophy, and topical fiction. Also included are occasional official statements from the President, Editor-in-Chief, or Editor, and letters to the editor, which should pertain to the journal and items published therein. Ephemeral items or those not scholarly in nature should be referred to ''[[Augustæum]]''.
'''Proposal: The Society should create the office of [[Advertising Manager]] under the [[Fundraising Committee]] to promote and process both support ads and commercial advertising, the latter perhaps including fly sheets.'''
==Augustan Books== The Society has the capacity to become a publisher of scholarly items, and doing so cannot help but enhance our reputation in our fields. Print-on-demand technology (assuming a reliable small-batch binder can be identified) and pre-publication sales will limit the investment required to that needed for promotion and advertising. '''Proposal: The Society should institute a program of book publishing, both leveraging the material already on hand and inviting original work.''' ===''The [[Augustan Society Roll of Arms]]''===
The Society's program of [[Arms Registration]] is of limited value if those registrations are not made public in some way. The [[Online Armorial]] is one tool for this, but it is not the only one. It is also suitable to use published rolls as a general fundraiser, as has been done in the past.
'''Proposal: The Society should publish special rolls for [[Sub-Groups]] of the Society, such as the [[Noble Company of the Rose]], as those Sub-Groups request.'''
==The Augustan Society Website==
'''Proposal: The Society should monitor and update the [[Main Website]] on an ongoing basis to ensure that it remains complete and correct.'''
==The Augustan Store Website==
'''Proposal: The Society should monitor and update the [[Online Store]] website on an ongoing basis to ensure that the offerings are complete and correct; that they have full contents data; that the genealogical titles have surname lists; and that pricing reflects current costs.'''
==The Forum; an Online Forum==
'''Proposal: The Society should establish an online forum in some suitable venue, possibly the [[Main Website]], wherein public conversations about the Society and Augustan topics are encouraged, as soon as a moderator and suitable rules may be established.'''
==Back Issue Sales==
'''Proposal: The Society should convert all former publications to electronic form; first as PDF files, then as text files with improved illustrations where possible.'''
'''Proposal: The Society should create independent issues of back issues published as part of the ''Augustan Society Ominbus'' so that they may be sold separately.'''
==Reprint Sales==
'''Proposal: The Society should continue to offer [[Reprints]], creating and expanding reprints on a topical basis. Single-article reprints should be phased out as stock is exhausted.'''

===''A Continuation of Paget's ''Ancestry of the Prince of Wales===
===''The Little Manual of Heraldry''===
This work is poorly organized, eccentric in coverage, and printed in black & white. It deserves a thorough revision and color artwork. The existence of a large backlog of the third edition should not discourage this effort.===''The [[Augustan Society Roll of Arms]]''=== The Society's program of [[Arms Registration]] is of limited value if those registrations are not made public in some way.
