The Heraldry Society

[2] The principal object of the society is to extend interest in and knowledge of heraldry, genealogy, precedence, and related disciplines.

The society also offers qualifications for heraldists: in conjunction with the Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies three examination levels are offered – Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced – which when taken successfully in sequence lead to an award of the Society's Diploma and the post-nominal DipHS.

[3] For fifty years, John Brooke-Little served as the chairman of The Heraldry Society.

In 1997, as he was ending his career as an officer of arms, he changed roles in the society to become its president.

It was not until 2005 that Brooke-Little finally handed complete control of the journal to two young officers of arms, Peter O'Donoghue (then Bluemantle Pursuivant) and Clive Cheesman (then Rouge Dragon Pursuivant).
