Hello, Known World!
This page is where Johannes does test edits on the Unofficial SCA Heraldry Wiki.
A.S.
A.S. stands for Anno Societatis -- "in the year of our Society."
SCA - Reckoning Society Calendar Dates
There is a good article on the Caid Wiki: Anno Societatis. Also a short one on the East Kingdom Wiki.

SCAdia.org has an excellent article on Dating in the SCA.
printed references
"The SCA began as a May Day party centred on a medieval style tournament in Berkeley, California in 1966. The inspiration for this tournament was "The Last Tournament" held in 1839 Scotland by the Earl of Eglanton in the hope of reviving the values of the middle ages. The Berkeley tournament was a greater success and developed into ongoing events and the eventual creation of the SCA. The date of the tournament is held to be the founding date of the SCA and is the starting point of the SCA's calendar year known as Anno Societatis (Paxson, 1992)."
