The Armorial Register - International Register of Arms

Register and record your Armorial Bearings (Coat of Arms) in the International Register of Arms

Heraldry is primarily about the business of identity; the armorial bearings (Coats of Arms) featured on these pages represent their owners and, although there is no secret heraldic code behind the images portrayed, many tell their own story. They all have a special place in the hearts of the armiger concerned and they are a lasting memorial to the original grantee.

All registrations now being accepted for The Armorial Register - International Register of Arms Will be included in Volume 3. All registrations are published both in our Online Armorial (The Register), and will be included in a quality hard backed publication of Volume 3.

Copies of all publications are deposited in The British Library and other International Libraries on request. The Armorial Register Website, is archived twice every year by The British Library UK Web Archive http://www.webarchive.org.uk This means that a complete record of the website and all changes to its content will be recorded. Thus building a permanent picture of the site’s development and expanding content for years to come.

Volume 3 of The Register will be a matching book to the published Volume 1 (Registrations 1-183) and Volume 2 (Registrations 183-366) building a fully illustrated record of contemporary Coats of Arms used internationally.

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.
