The
International
Association of Amateur
Heralds (IAAH) is a
group of heraldic
enthusiasts from around
the world that come
together to discuss all
aspects of heraldry. It
was formerly known only
as the Association of
Amateur Heralds, or AAH.
The Association exists
only in cyberspace and
is composed of people
from twenty-three
nations amongst its
membership. The IAAH was
created to encourage the
art and science of
heraldry through helping
you with your heraldic
needs and enquiries.
The Association's stated
aim is promotion and
education in the fields
of the art and science
of heraldry. This vision
was the core driving
principle of the
Association's
foundation. Although
people and positions
change, the Association
continues to grow and
evolve. The founding
principles remain
intact, as a result of
contributions by
volunteers from among
its membership acting in
various capacities.
Members contribute
articles on the subject
of heraldry, refine the
Association's articles
and bylaws, and service
arms design requests by
members of the public.
Members continue to
contribute towards the
roll of arms which
reflects the work of the
Association's heralds
and heraldic artists.
The Association aims to
foster the love of
heraldry in all its
forms, to encourage its
use by individuals,
corporations and public
bodies, to assist those
desirous of acquiring
their own arms, and to
support the work of
heraldic authorities and
societies worldwide.
In support of these
aims, the Association
manages an internet
Forum accessible by
non-members as well as
members. For those who
require particular
assistance to design or
emblazon arms, the
Association operates a
free service to put
potential clients in
touch with members who
can help them to turn
their heraldic ideas
into reality in
conformance with good
heraldic practice.
The Association
encourages those who
accept arms designed by
the Association to
register or petition for
a grant of arms through
an official heraldic
authority in order to
control the
proliferation of
"assumed" arms.
