The Communications Department of The Augustan Society, Inc., includes all forms of communication, including publications, letters, email, web sites, and electronic fora. The policies established by this department apply to all others.
The chairman of the Communications Department is styled Editor-in-Chief, and this post falls to Consuls per their Contract, but permits the role to be delegated to a member.
Chairmen for each of the activities listed below are named by the Editor-in-Chief. Their titles may be Chairman, Editor, Webmaster, or something else specific and appropriate.
Primary activities of the Department are scheduled using the Communications Calendar. These may be subdivided into several categories:
Contents
Current Periodicals
- Augustæum, the Society's bi-monthly newsletter
- The Augustan Omnibus, the Society's semi-annual journal
- Rose Newsletter, newsletter of the Noble Company of the Rose
Back Issues
- Back Issue Sales, which includes scanning, digitizing, and reformatting
Books
The Society has a program of book publication. A number of titles have been published, both in hardcover and softbound. This program should be under the direction of a Books Editor who is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the Editor-in-Chief. He may, in turn, appoint Editors for each book or series contemplated.
The contents of the books may be assigned to the Communications Department, to another Society Committee, or to an author (with a separate Editor), as may best suit each situation.
Rolls of Arms
This is a continuing series of publications. To date, three volumes of the Augustan Society Roll of Arms have been published in a black & white format (though Volume III did include some color plates). Future publications proposed, all in full color, are:
- Rose Role of Arms, Editor is the Rose Herald under the Noble Company of the Rose
- Augustan Society Roll of Arms Vol. IV, Rolls Editor under the Communications Department
- Augustan Society Roll of Arms Vol. I, Editor-in-Chief under the Communications Department
- Augustan Society Roll of Arms Vol. II, Editor-in-Chief under the Communications Department
- Augustan Society Roll of Arms Vol. III, Editor-in-Chief under the Communications Department
- Augustan Society Roll of Arms Vol. V, Rolls Editor under the Communications Department (pending sufficient registrations)
The Rose Roll is first as it will serve as a test bed. It will also be softcover while the others will be hardcover.
Descents from Antiquity
Title presently indeterminate, has most recently been Descents from Antiquity Study Kits. Editor: Descents from Antiquity Chairman. At present, slow progress is being made by the Editor-in-Chief in formatting the charts that form the bulk of this publication.
The format is expected to be a folder with the following contents:
- Introduction to the Descents from Antiquity Study Kit, softcover
- An undetermined number of genealogical charts, loose cardstock sheets
- Citations used in the Descents from Antiquity Study Kit, softcover
- Bibliography of the Descents from Antiquity Study Kit, softcover
The Introduction is obvious, the charts are similar to those used previously, the Citations booklet tells which sources apply to each individual, and the Bibliography gives the full details of each source.
Other Titles
- A Continuation of Paget's Ancestry of the Prince of Wales, by Arthuer Germond
- Vigil: A Knight's Training Program
Neither has an Editor assigned at present.
