Fellow Researchers!
Here are friends' blogs, reenactor/recreationist-run websites or groups by and for people who are in the reenactment/research/historical costuming realm that can help:
(Please contact me about updating this list. I update it as I find more people's blogs.)
Important to know!
This website is compiled by Members of the Society for Creative Anachronism. The SCA is a non-profit, hybrid Reenactment-LARP hobby, and as such, no member is limited on what they choose for their reenactment focus geographically, as long as it it pre-1600 CE.
Cultural Appropriation is a very important issue, and one of this website's goals is to help compile accurate and helpful research for any reenactor or historical costumer, so as to avoid being disrespectful and ignorant of modern contexts. Anyone can feel free to contact me (Jacquelyn Hansel) directly via the information in the footer.
