Heraldry News, the journal
of The Australian Heraldry Society, has been in publication since 1990. It is
published three times a year, is A5 in size, and includes colour and black and
white illustrations. Articles are written by members and non-members, often,
but not exclusively, with an Australian focus.
Some articles in past issues have included:
-

Australian coach painter and heraldic artist” by Laura McDuff

Many of our members hold grants of arms from overseas bodies,
and articles on their grants are often included in our journal.
Our Members’ Circular is printed at least once
every two months, is A4 in size, and consists of at least four pages of information
and brief articles. Members are kept abreast of heraldic developments both here
and overseas.
The Heraldry Society, Australian Branch (Heraldry Australia's
predecessor), produced the book Australian Municipal Heraldry (edited
by Joseph P Morton) in 1988. This is now unfortunately out of print.
