At present, each Volume of the ‘Armorial Register’, along with other publications, is deposited with the British Library and other major Libraries around the globe. The website, however, which also holds and maintains the Arms, personal information and genealogies of our contributors, has not, until now, enjoyed any significantly long term or independent security. The Armorial Register Ltd is registered under The Data Protection Act 1968 see our Terms & Conditions, section 12.

It is now possible for any registrant to place a pictorial advertisement on their web page; the purpose of which is to promote the registrant’s own personal website or their business interest, charity, society or club etc. There will be a one off charge of £50 for the service which we feel is excellent value for what is in effect a permanent advertisement. The advert will not be included in the forthcoming Armorial publication (the book) and is for web promotion only; it can be linked if required to an external website.

The banner should be exactly 151 pixels wide and by 257 pixels high (although the height can be less the width can not be). An example can be seen at http://www.armorialregister.com/arms-sco/duncan-ja-arms.html

We reserve the right to refuse or alter any banner if it is not deemed to be suitable and for the same reason we reserve the right not to link to any outside web site. The decision of The Armorial Register Ltd will be final. Registrants who would like to avail themselves of this service are asked to make contact via email
