The members newsletter of The Augustan Society, Inc., is titled Augustæum. It is presently published bi-monthly in odd-numbered months. The web page for it is here.

Augustæum is the proper place for official announcements, news of the Society and it's Committees, Projects, and Members, and for other items of interest that are ephemeral or inherently non-scholarly.

It is not the proper place to publish scholarly works that would otherwise qualify for The Augustan Omnibus.

Style

In general, the Chicago Manual of Style should guide appearance, with the additional rules created for the Omnibus included so that Society publications should display a single style.

Format

  • Page: 8½×11", ½" margins, running head after first page
  • Page count: multiple of 2, with 4 pages minimum
  • Printed: 8½×11" or 11×17" 24# goldenrod (not gold) folded to 8½×11"
  • Binding: folded, saddle stitch when 8 pages or more.
  • Folding: Z-fold if mailed in #10 envelopes, flat if mailed in 9x12" (as when mailed with the Omnibus)
  • Font: DejaVu Sans 12pt, bold and italic as needed

Much more detail of the format exists, and will be added after the same is done for the Omnibus, as much will be the same.
