One collection often overlooked is the Heraldry Collection of the
Augustan Society Library. While it's presently in storage following a
move, most volumes are available through ILL.

A partial catalog exists. Sadly it's on paper, but can be quickly
scanned for specific items. A large variety of periodicals on
continental heraldry are also held.

Research services are available, but are presently slow due to the
collection being in storage and the long access times the result.
