The Armorial Register Limited is a British publishing company focused on heraldic and genealogical topics.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] It was founded in 2006 with the aim of producing works related to heraldry and associated fields of study.[6] [7]
The Armorial Register Limited's main publication is the Armorial Register - International Register of Arms.[8] [9] [10] This work was originally titled Burke's Peerage & Gentry International Register of Arms when the publishing rights were held under license by Burke's Peerage until 2011. At this point, the license was terminated and the publication was rebranded under its current name.
The publication functions as a roll of arms, allowing individuals from around the world to record legitimately granted, inherited or assumed coats of arms. However, as a private venture, it holds no official heraldic authority or powers of judgment over genealogical matters.
The contents of the publication are periodically compiled and edited into bound volume book formats. Thus far, three such volumes of the book have been released since the founding of the publisher in 2006.[11]
