My vision for the nobiliary activities of The Augustan Society, Inc., include:

Royalty & Nobility Committee

The Royalty & Nobility Committee is composed of the Royalty & Nobility Chairman, the members of other committees assigned to the Royalty & Nobility Department, such members as he sees fit, and the President and Consuls as ex officio members.

The Chairman is named by the President and serves at his pleasure. The members are named by the Chairman, and serve at his pleasure.

All activities of the Royalty & Nobility Department fall under the control of this Committee unless the Board or Chairman has created another Committee and charged them with responsibility.

Recognition of fontes honorum in support of chivalric and nobiliary recognitions

The Society should work toward maintaining and publishing the standards by which to judge fontes honorum to determine if they should be recognized by the Society.

The Society should work toward maintaining and publishing a list of those fontes honorum that have been deliberately recognized by the Society.

The above task accomplished, the Society should work toward maintaining and publishing a list of all current fontes honorum worthy of recognition by the Society.

Recognition of nobility, including titles and postnominals

Recognition of personal nobility, not including titles and postnominals

Recognition of gentility

Maintaining a list of current fontes honorum (perhaps extending to reigning monarchs)

Library Support

The Department, either through the main Committee, a sub-committee, or a designated officer, will advise the Library Department in matters of accession, classification, and deaccession of materials on this subject.

Article Solicitation

The Department, either through the main Committee, a sub-committee, or a designated officer, will solicit articles on this subject for the Omnibus, in cooperation with the Omnibus Editor.
