The main website of The Augustan Society, Inc., is located at <augustansociety.org>. It is a turnkey system provided by <EasyNetSites>.

Management of the website is nominally assigned to the Assistant Webmaster for ENS, who is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the Webmaster. Access to edit the site may be delegated by function to any member at need.

There is, at present, no written style manual for the site. One hopes that should an Assistant Webmaster ever step forward, they would take this on as part of their duties. Until then, copying the existing style is recommended.

This site also includes the working Roster for the Society and its Sub-Groups. Access to this has been granted to the Assistant Secretary and the Assistant Treasurer, as each is the lead worker on some aspect of the Roster.

The site includes a "Blast Email" function intended to be used to send bulk email to members (or others). Due to changes in the structure of the Internet and the Society's maintenance of an email forwarder responding to the same domain name, this system is presently unusable.

"Groups Management" allows members to be grouped according to their membership in sub-groups, classes of membership, committee membership, and any arbitrary group needed. Maintaining these groups is a non-trivial task that is not often attended to except when a mailing is to be made. This is presently felt sufficient.

This site also includes:

and once released for public use:

plus such other lists as the Society may elect to make public.
