The Augustan Society, Inc., publishes a journal, presently semi-annually.
Formal title: The Augustan Omnibus: An International Journal of History, Heraldry, Genealogy, and Chivalry
Short title: The Augustan Omnibus
Informal title: Omnibus
Note: The Formal title should probably be expanded to include either "Royalty", "Nobility", or both. There has been some discussion of this point with the Royalty & Nobility Committee, but they seem conflicted about whether "Nobility" is sufficiently encompassing.
Staff
The Omnibus staff is headed by the Editor, who is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the Editor-in-Chief. He then appoints such other members as he may see fit. These presently include:
Assistant Editors, who work with authors to perfect their articles (and especially their list of citations);
Proofreader, who reviews completed articles for grammar, spelling, and may compare the article to the original; and a
Production Editor, who does the final formatting, printing, and distribution.
Advertising Manager, who sells ads and provides copy to the Editor-in-Chief.
Style manual
The primary source of style is the Chicago manual:
The Chicago manual of style.
16th ed.
The University of Chicago Press, ©2010.
Unfortunately, this manual is not entirely consistent, nor does it cover all of the peculiar sources we find common. Obviously, it also lacks details of our typographic standards.
To address these two challenges, we have established our own Style Manual which should be adhered to.
