0 bytes added, 02:18, 21 February 2016
The Augustan Society, Inc., in fulfillment of it's committment to public education and the promotion of heraldry, will publish an Online Armorial of all arms [[Registration of Arms|Registered]] by the Society. This may, in time, expand to include the registrations of other American registries, with their cooperation. The Index, Armorial, and Ordinary are on the main web site [[http://augustansociety.org/cpage.php?pt=83 here]].
Growth of the Armorial is expected to be be slow due to half the achievments being available only as black & white line drawings, and many being without any emblazonment. Some also lack a recorded blazon. It will also be delayed by the need to translate blazons into English so as to provide a consistent vocabulary for the Ordinary The number of achievements should exceed 500 600 when complete.
While we expect most will access the individual achievements using public search engines, we will create our own index.
