One of the primary topics studied by members of The Augustan Society, Inc., is genealogy, and a significant subset of that topic, especially for American genealogists, is Scottish genealogy and immigration. Thus it is appropriate for the Society to include a Scottish Genealogy Study Group. This group was previously known as the "Scottish Genealogy Committee".
Presently inactive, this group was once a committee large enough to publish it's own magazine, The Scottish-American Genealogist. It may be revived at the request of any Member in Good Standing.
The first task of such a revived group would be to create a Charter to define the scope of their studies, especially as the term "Scottish" is subject to interpretation, not to mention being dependent upon the year studied.
