Someday it would be nice to have a next-generation LoAR search engine.
This could include the emblazons drawn from OSCAR and the scanned archives.
An effective search engine could address some of the need for the Precedence Tagging Project.
Lead: Publishing LoARs is the responsibility of the Morsulus office.
Decades ago, all of the paper submission forms in the College of Arms’ archives were scanned.
There is an ongoing project to extract armory emblazon images from those scans and make them available online.
Technology: Emma de Featherstan.
Content: Laurel Archivist and Archivist Emerita.
This proposed project would establish a web site to publish examples ceremonies for SCA courts from around the known world, as well as examples of award scrolls that had been given out.
In some kingdoms this material is already gathered together in a standard way, while in other kingdoms it’s passed around informally or kept in personal archives by experienced heralds.
Platform: Project leads are seeking a web-based Document Management System or customized Content Management System.
Leads: Shandra Vazquez de Granada, Sisuile Butler
Project initiated in 2024.
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.
Third-Party Hosted Service: YouTube
To be determined.
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.
