=== Registry and Maintenance of Shrines ===
The ASA primary purpose is to act as a registry and assist in maintaining shrines. It is heavily expressed and stated that the ASA does not enforce doctrine or assist in enforcing doctrine for Akuan Shrine authorities for Akuan countries. Maintenance originally only was to provide finance aid towards the shrines, however after 1960 the ASA started to also provide material and skilled labor for shrines. The need for materials and skilled labor, is a result that shrines require specialized craft and materials prepared in traditional Akuan methods. The registry of shrines was formally held in the archives in [[Aikthudr'zhur]], holding the location, name and the inhabitant of the shrine. Original method of registering was to request local Akuan community leaders, such as brewmasters to fill out a form and mail it to the ASA offices. This method was of course, highly ineffective as forms was lost in transition and frequently issue arose that it was filled out in a different form of [[Nys'tat'en]] all together resulting in the shrine being unreadable for scholars at the archives. Another issue was storage, not just in controlling the environment to prevent the paper from rotting but it quickly became unorganized due to the sheer volume sent to the archives monthly and this issue only multiplied with disorganization. As such in 1940, to combat the issues rising the ASA organized volunteer achieves on a regional level to organize the local shrines in the registry and then sent a more completed list in Aikkian [[Nys'tat'en]]. Then the regional archives would send the translated registry list of shrines to the main achieves in [[Aikthudr'zhur]]. The new method greatly helped with organization, and only was recently changed in 2007 when the shrine archives was digitalized and streamlined. The new method relied on regional archives to digitized the records, and then the records could be translated in Valkyr [[Nys'tat'en]] instead of just Aikkian [[Nys'tat'en]]. Valkyr Nys'tat'en being more widely understood through Valkyr media than Aikkian Nys'tat'en which was more regional form in Nys'tat'en of [[Novaris]].
=== Genealogy Project and Family Registry ===
Starting in 1950, the ASA begin the process to collect records of families and their movements in a effort to help track people separated during the [[Akuan Atrocities]] and related tragedies. Originally the focus was on the [[Norgsveltian Crown Realm]], due to the Atrocities however the role expanded out to incorporate more of the world. While original survivors of the atrocities for the most part perished from [[Kemonomimi Genetic Immunodeficiency Disorder|KGID]] or old age, that being noted Akuan elves and non-Kemonomimi species still had survivors. The process of collecting various records from shrine, census data from Norgsveltian government and so forth it help reunited children of the survivors with their extended family. Later in 1972, the project expanded outwards to collect family records and census data from across the world to build global registry of Akuanists in a effort to track historical movements of Akuanists and their families across the world. Big focus of the project was attempting to link the descendants of the slave trade to back their original homeland, which was often generations if not centuries back. The registry of Akuanists and their record is considered to be a closed matter as in, not openly shared. It for family members descended of the survivors of the [[Akuan Atrocities]] it required them to notify the ASA office and for those researching into their family history a small fee is required. Majority of the work of the Genealogy project is done through volunteers.
The registry and genealogy project has been digitalized along side the registry of the shrines. However, access to the digital archives are only given out to trusted research institutions, universities and ASA volunteers.
