Specific programs presently active are:
==[[Approved Lineages]]==
This program receives all lineages submitted to the Society, and reviews them for substantial compliance with relaxed genealogical standards. The result is an "approval" that is considered sufficient for admission to any of the Society's [[Lineage Groups]] , [[Arms Registration|registration]] of inherited arms, and publication in ''The [[Augustan Omnibus]]''. A [[Genealogist Fee]] is assessed for each lineage on a per-generation basis, with a credit being issued for generations already approved by the Society.
==[[Certified Lineages]]==
==[[Lineage Research]]==
Genealogical research for hire. Members receive a discount determined by Member discounts may apply to the [[Order of the Augustan Eagle]], presently 20%fees.
==[[Standard Lineages Project]]==
The goal of this project is to define a standard lineage chart sufficient to the needs of all Society programs, but especially that of [[Certified Lineages]]. It is also desired that the form will be acceptable to the majority of the major lineage groups operating in the US.
A draft of this format is being developed online [[http://augustansociety.org/cpage.php?pt=46 here]]. <!--while use of a standard format is not required, it is encouraged. Such standard Standard charts will have three sections:<ol type="1"> 1. <li>The first section will have four columns: <ol type="a. "> <li>Sequential numbering from the oldest to youngest generation.</li> b. <li>Full names of the descendants, with dates and places of birth, death, and marriage where known.</li> c. <li>Full names of the spouses of the descendants where known, with dates and places of birth and death where known.</li> d. <li>Citations to sources in brief form (e.g.: Authorname, p.000) or by numerical reference.</li> 2. </ol></li> <li>The second section will be the bibliographic citations in a style substantially equivalent to that defined in the current Chicago Manual of Style. These will be in some logical sequence, likely alphabetical by author or by numerical reference.</li> 3. <li>A third and optional section will be copies of public records and other rare documents that a competent genealogical researcher would not expect to be able to find without significant effort or expense.</li></ol> 4. Electronic format — GED files with sufficient data to create a standard lineage chart as above.While software to generate a lineage in standard format from a GED file is an established project, at present the [[Genealogy Committee]] has offered to manually convert such.-->
