The [[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-Deputy Justiciar Generals are not uniformly responsive. This project, along with new registrations or 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 [[Library Cataloging]] Project has finally begun in earnest, with over 300 books entered into the [[Online Public 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.
The associated [[“Buy-A-Box”]] program has generated substantial revenue which has been put to the purchase of acid-free storage boxes and steel shelving. We now have enough shelving for half our [[Library|library]] storage unit, and nearly that many boxes. We do not ask for another assessment at this time, as we think it appropriate to let the cataloging catch up. We will ask for more once we do.
