The Society is nonprofit making and is registered as an educational charity. Membership is open to all. As well as enjoying the privileges and advantages of membership, subscriptions help to further the aims of the Society.
Members receive the quarterly newsletter of the Society, The Heraldry Gazette, and can subscribe to the twice-yearly journal The Coat of Arms.
