The History Department of The Augustan Society, Inc., would engage in the following activities:
==[[History Committee]]==
The History Committee is composed of the History Chairman, the members of other committees assigned to the History Department, such members as the Chairman sees fit, and the [[President]] and [[Consuls]] as ex officio members.
'''Proposal: The Society should make serious efforts to staff this Department, as an historical organization with no history activities is something of an oxymoron.'''
==[[Study Groups]]== Historically, the Society has supported a number of specialized Study Groups, many in the field of history. At present, only a few are active. '''Proposal: The Society should promote the creation and activities of Study Groups, including both those that have existed in the Society's past and new Augustan topics.''' ==[[First Peoples Committee]]==
The First Peoples Committee studies Native Americans with an emphasis on the pre-Columbian period, including original immigration and migration and petroglyphs.
'''Proposal: The Society should adopt and publish a Charter for the First Peoples Committee.'''
==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]].
