The Augustan Society, Inc., bills itself as an "association of scholars". The Society also emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to the field. Indeed, it is our ability to span conventional topics that is one of the Society's great strengths. As such, there are many activities which do not fall neatly into one of the topical Departments. For this reason, and because they don't need discipline-specific oversight, it is appropriate to create these projects as Study Groups under separate administration.

Study Groups will be created at need, provided that a member volunteers to work on it. Study Groups will be made dormant when no member is willing. Thus at any time there will be a list of active Study Groups and a list of inactive Study Groups, the latter occasionally being rather longer than the former. This is in keeping with the nature of the Society, and follows a long tradition of directing the focus of the Society to those projects which have member support at any given point in time.

Currently active Study Groups include:
