About Member Benefits

Publications & Scholarship

Members receive the Society’s flagship scholarly journal, The Augustan Omnibus, which continues a publishing tradition dating back to the Society’s earliest years. Members are encouraged to submit articles, serve as reviewers, or assist with editorial and research projects.

Special Interest Committees

Eligible members may apply for membership in one or more of the Society’s core committees and programs, each focused on one of our five primary fields of interest: chivalry, genealogy, heraldry, history, and royal & noble studies. These groups promote focused research, recognition, and fellowship among members with shared ancestral or scholarly interests.

A Volunteer-Driven Society

The Augustan Society is proudly volunteer-run. Its work is made possible by the time, expertise, and generosity of its members.

Members may contribute according to their interests and availability, including:

• Writing and research

• Editorial and design support

• Genealogical review

• Committee service

• Outreach and education

• Administrative and technical assistance

Every contribution, large or small, strengthens the Society’s mission.
