This is the home of the Unofficial SCA Heraldry Wiki, created in 2012.
This is the new home of the Unofficial SCA Heraldry Wiki, since wikispaces closed.

It has been suggested that a searchable wiki for SCA Heraldry would be useful. And when the subject comes up, it is determined that, ideally, someone with knowledge of Wiki programming should take on this project, hosting it at a secure server that "we" own and control. After six years of living on a wiki farm, we now have a "real" wiki here!!

Many years ago, when wikipedia was fairly young, it was suggested (over and over) that a searchable wiki for SCA Heraldry would be useful, too. And whenever the subject came up, it was determined that someone with knowledge of Wiki programming should take on this project, hosting it at a secure server that "we" own and control. At the time, I couldn't do that, but I had been playing with super-simple wikis on a free wiki farm, so I started this as a beta test project in 2012.

After six years the old wikispaces farm closed, and I had to move the entire wiki (with a lot of help from a programmer friend) and learn MediaWiki coding.  I am still cleaning up some of the formatting issues that process created back in 2018.


This wiki has well over a thousand articles and hundreds of images (and links to more images) incorporating information from:
