Stych, F. S.; 1722

The Flow Chart Method and Heraldic Enquiries

F. S. Stych, University of Sheffield, «The Flow Chart Method and Heraldic Enquiries» RQ, volume 6, number 4, pages 169-174, published by American Library Association, Chicago, summer of 1967.


This article describes, using a flowchart, a method to identify the holder of a coat of arms. This method is applicable to the armories of the United Kingdom, as it follows their heraldic norms and most important sources. One of the target readers of the article are librarians who, finding coats of arms in books, plates, ex libris, etc., need to classify them.

The most notable aspect of the article is the 1967 flowchart, which is shown in the image above. This image has been extracted, cleaned, and enhanced from the original diagram contained at the end of the article. Note that some functions appear repeated within the scheme, such as, «Check families listed in Anson, etc. in Burke's General Armory. Arms found?» which, in turn, is represented with a task rectangle, when it really is a rectangle containing a question, a bifurcation, which should be a diamond «Arms found?», that is, it has been represented by a rectangle what should have been represented by a rectangle and a diamond. This same issue occurs in other processes and is probably due to not complicating the flowchart further.
