The Fellows of the Institute form the back bone of its 'international community of experts'. There are two types, the 'Fellow', who is a practicing herald or heraldist, and the 'Honourary Fellow', who pursues heraldic research or art as a hobby.

 

The Institute intends to maintain a balance of Fellows from around the world, representing many heraldic traditions.

​

Fellow Benefactors and Companion-Fellows will also be recognised from time to time.

​

The Institute will award fellowships to individuals who have made a particular impact on the art and science of heraldry.

 

Applications are accepted throughout the year and must be made through this form.

​

Fellows must be willing to share their expert heraldic knowledge with each other and fulfil the Heraldic Institute's wider mission to promote understanding, access and the use of heraldry.
