Heraldry Vision
The Heraldry Department of The Augustan Society, Inc., would engage in the following activities:
Contents
Heraldry Committee
The Heraldry Committee is composed of the Heraldry Chairman, the members of other committees assigned to the Heraldry Department, such members as the Chairman sees fit, and the President and Consuls as ex officio members.
The Chairman is named by the President and serves at his pleasure. The members are named by the Chairman, and serve at his pleasure.
All activities of the Heraldry Department fall under the control of this Committee unless the Board or Chairman has created another Committee and charged them with responsibility.
Arms Design Consultation
Previously, consultation on the design (and matriculation) of arms was done by the Heraldry Committee, since the Arms Registration Committee was 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 to the emblazonment of same.
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. This Committee has disavowed responsibility for any other activity.
