dropped museum
The Augustan Society, Inc., has had as part of its mission the construction and maintenance of a museum. The related web page is In 2015 it was decided to drop the word "museum" from the [http://augustansociety.org/cpage.php?pt=79 here[Mission Statement]].At this time, the museum project has been changed to dividing the collection into several categories:
The Museum Department is lead by * Items of no worth to be discarded.* Items of some worth, but no relevance, which will be sold, donated, or discarded.* Items that were the personal property of the [[CuratorFounder]] who is appointed by and serves , which will be delivered to his heir (or possibly sold at her direction).* The philatelic and numismatic collections, which warrant careful review before sale or retention is decided upon.* Items that speak to the pleasure history of the Society or individual members, which will be retained.* Items that will be useful to furnish or decorate a [[PresidentHeadquarters]], save which will be retained.* Items that it is presently assigned will be useful to furnish or decorate the [[ConsulsChapel of the Rose]] by their , whose disposition will be at the discretion of the [[ContractSuperintendent of the Chapel]].
The museum collection includes (or appears to include):This project will be conducted by Consuls, with the assistance of such volunteers as my present themselves.
*'''Stamp Collection''' &mdash; Thanks On any given item (and all of the Chapel items), Consuls may send photos and descriptions to several donationsothers for their opinions, our philatelic holdings which Consuls are substantial. It is hoped that once these donations are merged that we will be able not obliged to sell off honor, with the duplicates to fund purchases exception of missing items. Target collections include a comprehensive collection plus topical collections on heraldryretention decisions made by the Superintendent of the Chapel, royalty, castles, and perhaps others. Note that some which will be retained at the expense of the collection may belong to our [[FounderNoble Company of the Rose]], and his heir may properly lay claim to them. <!-- Stamps reproduced in color must be smaller than 75% or larger than 150% of the original.-->
*'''Coin Collection''' &mdash; Though much smaller than the stamp collection, the Society's numismatic collection ranges from Roman (and older) coins and reproductions to the modern age. Topical collections include royalty and heraldry, with other topics possible. *'''Paintings and Prints''' &mdash; More paintings and prints have been donated that could ever be fitted onto the walls of our Headquarters. These include a large collection of heraldic achievements, portraits of past Chairmen of the Society, and a few historic works. All are in need of careful conservation and eventual display. *'''Native American Collection''' &mdash; The efforts of the First Peoples Committee have generated a number of original and reproduction items that illuminate the cultures of the first peoples of the Americas. This collection It is under the nominal direction of the Chairman of the First Peoples Committee. *Other material expected that does not fit into the above categories, including a life-sized marble statue contents of Augustus, a reproduction coat of armor, and some eight-foot panels pained with Egyptian designs by the Founder. One would not be surprised to find personal items formerly belonging to our Founder that deserve to be repatriated to his heir. At present, the museum collection is in storage. It Museum Room will be necessary to conduct relocated into a survey of the collection and weed out inappropriate materialsmaller space, which appears to form half the collection at first glance. It has been proposed that an estate disposition firm be engaged to remove and monetize those with Rose items not returned moved to our Founder's heir or retainedtheir own storage unit.
