Societas Heraldica is dedicated to preserving and advancing the art, history, and practice of personal and organizational heraldry through public education and scholarly research.

Mission

Societas Heraldica was founded to study, preserve, and advance the tradition of heraldry. We seek to educate the public about the art and practices of personal and organisational heraldry, as well as its auxiliary sciences.

Program

We have a number of programs and qualifications planned throughout the year, and also offer plenty of publication opportunities by way of our publication, Sylva Armorum. We welcome all who wish to join regardless of experience or knowledge of the subject.
