The society is the only professional organisation of that kind in Serbia. It concerns itself with research and work in the field of the science of arms (heraldry), genealogy, flags, medals and honours, along with more specialized fields such as insigniology, archontology and nobilistics.
Fields of operation according to Serbian law:
- Heraldry
- State heraldry

- Institutional heraldry
- Corporative enterprise heraldry
- Historical family heraldry
- Contemporary family heraldry

All branches have their own commissions. The White Eagle is the holder of Serbia-Montenegro's arms registry. Virtually all of the modern day arms and the newly rendered images of historical arms used in Serbia today are created by the White Eagle.
