The Augustan Society, Inc., has the study of medals and decorations within its purview, and it is thus appropriate to have a '''Medals & Decorations Study Group'''. In the natural course of events, this study has included compiling a small collection of medals and other decorations.
These medals and decorations are used both for the study thereofPrimarily, the Medals and photographs or rubbings of same maybe used to illustrate, Society publications. To this end, a small collection should rightly be held, even while this Decorations Study Group is inactiveresponsible for housing, maintaining, and despite cataloguing the elimination Society’s collection of the Society's museummedals, decorations, and related insignia. Additionally, the Group will perform the following functions:
* Conduct research on medals and decorations for Augustan publications. Research can be based on items in the Society’s collection, or in general.* Assist Augustans and others with identification of or information regarding medals and decorations.* Be prepared to receive and incorporate in the Society’s collection any medals, decorations, or insignia donated or bequeathed by Society members.* Be prepared to receive and incorporate in the Society’s collection any medals, decorations, or insignia donated or bequeathed by Society members.* Conduct outreach to non-Augustan groups with similar mission sets (Orders and Medals Research Society, Orders and Medals Society of America) with the intent to collaborate on research. At present, it is not clear where or how large this the collection might be. Those identified to date fit into a single box, the collection is presently being stored in sorted out from the Equipment Roomrest of the museum collection.
Books on the topic are to be shelved in the library.
