Welcome to The Augustan Society
Our Mission
Historical preservation is the primary function of the Society, through a variety of programs including maintenance of a library and museum, publication of scholarly materials, and the presentation of these programs as an educational venue for members, subscribers, and the public.
The Society also:
- Grants Fellowships and Awards for outstanding achievements
- Maintains registration of coats of arms, orders of chivalry, knighthood and merit
- Records family genealogies, lineages and pedigrees
- Promotes and aids education in the fields of interest to the Society
- Furthers chivalric ideals in society
Our Programs
The Society has committees active in many areas of research. Our results are regularly published in The Augustan Omnibus, the flagship publication of the Society, which showcases a wide array of Augustan interests, research and achievements.
Main areas of our focus include:
- Ancient and Medieval History
- Genealogy
- Heraldry and Vexillology
- Chivalry and Orders—both Historical and Contemporary
- Royal and Noble Genealogy and Biography
Our Members
To be an Augustan requires your passion, your scholarship, your support.
If you take seriously your field of study, work to improve yourself, and seek to share what you have learned with others through articles, books, lectures, and support of other organizations; if you can assist and support your fellow Augustans in their scholarly works; if you can support the Society and its programs; if you desire to let the principles of chivalry and civilization shine through your life as an inspiration to others and as the fulfillment of your promise to yourself, then you are an Augustan.
If you're an Augustan at heart, join us. A Petition for Membership is online, along with list of member privileges.
