Preformed search strings to search the LOARs and the precedents by reign, along with some common sites.
The Master Index of the Society for Creative Anachronism's Ordinary is at http://oanda.sca.org/ordinary/ and is about 31 different flavours of badass.
THe index is arranged alphabetically by type of charge, and one can assume that, in most cases, charges under different headers do not conflict; if they did then they'd be cross-referenced into identical categories because the people who run the database are sensible about these things. Thus, a fox (under beast-dog) is substantially different to fesses and falcons (under bird-whole).

Heralds in the Society for Creative Anachronism have many jobs. We are fondly called book heralds, helping to research period naming and armorial practices for the registration of names and armory for the populace. We are voice heralds, calling announcements, proclaiming who is fighting upon the field, and acting as the voice of nobility in court. We are protocol heralds, recording awards and honors bestowed, drafting ceremonies, and determining precedence and other period legal niceties in all sorts of situations. We also work closely with our good friends in the College of Scribes, whose art and artistry with pen and brush make what we do beautiful. Anyone can be a herald. You can be a herald!
" Thus, there is a DC for orientation between an escallop and an escallop inverted and between a crescent and an increscent and a decrescent. "
"This Wiki is an attempt to summarize current precedent in a useful way, modeled on the real-world Restatements of the Law. It will be divided into two main parts - the Restatement of Armory, dealing with devices, badges, and arms, and the Restatement of Names, dealing with personal and non-personal names. For various reasons, the Restatement of Armory will be compiled first."
