''[[Augustæum]]'' has proven a worthy tool, both for staying in more regular contact that the ''[[Augustan Omnibus]]'' schedule will permit, and particularly for giving management the means for quick communications with the membership. In an age of electronic communications, it's difficult to keep ahead of the rumors, but we seem to be keeping up well. Indeed, letters received that say, “Why didn't I know about this earlier?” are thus actually quite reassuring.
The [[Augustan Society Roll of Arms]] project has had a rocky history of late. With an inactive [[Hereditary Order of Armigerous Augustans|HOAA]], it was taken on by the [[Communications|Publications Committee]]. First a color reprint of Volume I was targeted, then the focus was switched to a new Volume IV. More change may well be in the offing. The major challenge is with obtaining translations of the blazons into “English”, as our [[Vice -Justiciars|Vice-Deputy Justiciar Generals]] are not uniformly responsive. This project, along with new [[Registrations of Arms]], badly needs a traffic manager; someone to track which blazons are ready, which have gone to the artist, right through to delivery of certificates.
The [[Cataloging|Library Cataloging]] Project has finally begun in earnest, with over 300 books entered into the [[Online Public Access Catalog]] to date. We invite [[Directors]] and interested members to visit the site at <[http://library.augustansociety.org http://library.augustansociety.org]> and see for yourselves. Use login “guest” and password “please”. Work continues almost daily.
