  • Heraldic Online Communities

    The College of Arms and the wider heraldic community connect online through a variety of official and unofficial discussion groups, mailing lists, chat servers, and so on.

    The SCA-HRLDS mailing list is an official resource of the College of Arms, but the various other social media platforms are unofficial, including the Knowne World Heraults Discord, various Facebook groups, and so on.

    These platforms can foster and facilitate heraldic education, however they require ongoing support and moderation, and their transitory nature limits their utility as a long-term reference.

  • CoA YouTube Channel

    Since 2020, the College has sponsored a number of online KWHSS symposia at which many of the sessions were recorded. It now plans to create a YouTube channel to which those videos will be posted.

    It’s expected that the videos hosted on this channel will also be linked to directly from the KWHSS pages on the main College website.

    History

    The creation of a College YouTube channel has been under discussion since at least 2020 (and probably well before then as well).

    A call for volunteers for a Media Production Team was included in the October 2024 cover letter.
