We have a unique position in the world, especially in the United States, as a champion of the continuity of history — and history as a guidepost to contemporary life, not as a collection of irrelevant antiquities or a list of dates and kings. We are uniquely qualified to present the lessons of history and the other Augustan subjects to the modern world, and to serve as a vital part of the modern world.
I propose that our primary focus should be to expand our educational offerings. The [[Knights Training Program]] is a good example of this. We need to develop similar programs for the study of Royalty & Nobility which show how these concepts remain relevant. We need to develop a Heraldic training program, perhaps based on the previous program which led to the designation of [['''Certified Heraldists]]'''. We need a [[History]] program that does more than shine a light on ancient times, but shows how history can illuminate the present. And it’s not too soon to begin plans for the development of [[Museum]] exhibits—perhaps traveling exhibits to extend our reach beyond whatever [[Headquarters]] we might establish. [Note: The Museum has since been discontinued and the collection is in the process of being disposed of.]
We must also invent new programs, new tools to assist the researcher. We have made small steps in this direction with our list of [[Recognized Orders of Chivalry]] (and Organizations of a Chivalric Nature); we have proposed a list of [[Recognition of ''Fontes Honorum''|Recognized ''Fontes Honorum'']]; and there may well be many other tools of this sort we are uniquely qualified to develop. In every field but genealogy—which is now well attended by commercial enterprises—scholars will benefit from the organized reference material we could assemble.
