Arms Design Consultation
Previously, consultation on the design (and matriculation) of arms was done by the Heraldry Committee. Now that the Arms Registration Committee has been spun off from this, the question of consultation has not been resolved, save that the current Justiciar General has declared that his Committee will not perform this service.
Proposal: The Society should clearly identify the Committee responsible for consultation on arms design and matriculation. While the Heraldry and Arms Registration Committees are likely candidates, the inclusion of Vice-Justiciars for various jurisdictions suggests the latter would be more appropriate.
Society Departmental Arms and Logo Design and Registration
The Heraldry Committee will design arms or logos for all Society sub-groups, committees, and offices. There will be no fee involved unless there is an expense for the emblazonment of same.
Proposal: The Society should direct the Heraldry Committee to develop and publish a system of arms and logos for Society sub-groups, indicating which are entitled to full achievements, which shields, and which logos which are not intrinsically heraldic.
Reviews of Books and other Publications on Heraldry
Proposal: The Society should generate reviews of heraldic books, magazines, websites, and programs in consultation with the Librarian and Reviews Editor utilizing Heraldry Department staff.
Arms Registration Committee
Responsibility for the Registration of Arms has been delegated to the Arms Registration Committee, which is attached to the Heraldry Committee. The Justiciar General, who heads the Arms Registration Committee, has disavowed responsibility for any other activity.
Library Support
The Department, either through the main Committee, a sub-committee, or a designated officer, will advise the Library Department in matters of accession, classification, and deaccession of materials on this subject.
Online Armorial
Index and Ordinary to Arms Registered or Published by the Society
This index and ordinary will provide two means of access to the blazons and emblazonments.
Index and Ordinary of Arms Registered by Cooperating US Registries
This project, already well begun, is an attempt to create a union catalog of all arms registries in the United States (worthy of recognition).
An early goal would be to identify all such registries, and publish the list here.
At present, three agencies are represented in the Index, though the quality of data varies somewhat.
Publication will be delayed until after the Society's Roll of Arms has been substantially completed.
Augustan Society Roll of Arms
Proposal: The Society should publish additional volumes of The Augustan Society Roll of Arms in hardcover as registrations (including artwork and English blazons) are available.
Proposal: The Society should reprint Volumes I through III of The Augustan Society Roll of Arms in color.
Rose Role of Arms
Manual of Heraldry
Article Solicitation
The Department, either through the main Committee, a sub-committee, or a designated officer, will solicit articles on this subject for the Augustan Omnibus, in cooperation with the Omnibus Editor.
