What is their purpose and situation today?

edit

This article would improve much if it included descriptions of the Private officers of arms current situation.

  • Which such offices are still in use?
  • Who appoints them?
  • What are their tasks in a day and age when geneaology is carried out by DNA samples and computer research, and heraldry is a quaint relic of times past?
  • What sources are their to support their modern purpose and situation?

It would also help if it expanded beyond Scotland, or clarified that the use is/was particular to that nation. If you are not able to edit the article yourself, maybe you can give pointers on sources or how to start? Thanks in advance! OJH (talk) 12:05, 18 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
