Most heraldic activities of The Augustan Society, Inc., are under the direction of the Heraldry Committee. The Committee Chairman, styled "Justiciar General", is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the President. The Justiciar General appoints all other members of the Committee, with the President and Headquarters Staff as ex officio members.


Heraldry Committee Membership

Members include:

  • Justiciar General
  • Vice-Justiciar
  • Vice-Justiciars for various heraldic jurisdictions
  • Heraldic artists, as non-voting members
  • Such at large Members as the Chairman may see fit
  • The President and Headquarters Staff, ex officio


Heraldic Artists are members of the committee, but do not vote, as they would generally be voting on their own work.

An Heraldic Artist who is also a Vice-Justiciar may vote according to his status as a Vice-Justiciar.
