HERALDIC INSTITUTE
Patron HI&RH Archduke Casimir Salvator of Austria
Meet us
The Fellows of the Institute form the back bone of our international community of experts. They are four types of Fellows. 'Fellows' who pursue heraldry and related subjects full-time. Hon. Fellows, who do so on an antiquarian basis or as one aspect of their work. Fellow Benefactors, who have generously supported the Institute with a gift and Companion-Fellows who aid the Institute in another way.
We purposefully include amongst our ranks people of many different heraldic traditions, heraldry-associated professions and heraldry-adjacent interests. We are proud that our Fellowship are people that would not normally "talk" to eachother outside of the Institute due to professional disagreements between their membership organisations.
The Institute sees itself as having universal appeal and as such we include members from, what some may consider, the fringes of the heraldic world. However, this view is a matter of perspective. One person's fringe may be another's centre. In order to be a "broad church" we aim to have a representative able to voice niche opinions amongst our ranks.
Whilst each Fellow is specialised in his or her field, they are united in furthering the art and science of heraldry general. Most are members of heraldic organisations located throughout the world in addition to their association with the Institute.
