Revision as of 16:19, 1 May 2022

In this modern age, it's not simply appropriate, but necessary that The Augustan Society, Inc., engage the public, our members, and various Study Groups with social media of a type appropriate to the purpose.


Forum

The Forum is a feature of our Main Website, and is under the direction of the Forum Moderator. As that office is presently vacant, the Forum has been disabled.


Facebook

This under the direction of the Facebook Moderator, is a public site used primarily to attract attention to the Society (and to block others from using our name there).


LinkedIn

There is an Augustan Society LinkedIn page. It is presently dormant, and serves primarily to reserve that name-space. No activity is expected until a volunteer moderator is named.


AugustanBoard YahooGroup

This was a private forum intended for use by members of the Board, Headquarters Staff, and the Chairmen of major committees to discuss Society business, and perhaps conduct some preliminary conversations about items to come before the Board. It was under the moderation of the Webmaster.

This group was deactivated by order of the President, with only the Webmaster retaining membership. It may be quickly reactivated at need.

AugustanConvert YahooGroup

This under the direction of the Editor-in-Chief. It's a private forum for use by volunteers working on several projects:

  • Back Issue Digitizing Study Group — PDF files of back issues are posted, along with RTF files with the output of OCR software. Volunteers convert the latter into OCR (or DOC) files more nearly suitable for publication.
  • Photo Collection Study Group — Scans of photos from the Society's collection are posted here to solicit identification of the people and places depicted.

Because of storage limits and the tendency of these groups to involve different volunteers, this may be split into two or more groups in future.


AugustanHeraldry YahooGroup

This under the direction of the Arms Chancellor, is a private group for the members of the Heraldry Committee and Headquarters Staff to exchange files and maintain a database of petitions and registrations.


Twitter

A Twitter account has been proposed for the Society, but it has not yet been implemented for lack of a moderator and a source of frequent data to post. It is not expected that this will be activated until and unless the Facebook page gets decent support, at which point diverting some of that data flow to Twitter will become relatively trivial.
