| What is the SCA? |
 The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is a non-profit
educational organization devoted the the study of pre-seventeenth century Western culture.
It concentrates on the European Middle Ages and Renaissance, and members work to recreate
the arts and skills of this era. Some members study the Middle East and explore the
interaction between Europe and Asia during the period under study. The SCA was
incorporated in 1968, but recognizes a tournament held in Berkeley, California on May 1,
1966 as its founding date.An "anachronism"
is something that is out of its proper time frame. "Creative Anachronism" takes
the best qualities of the Middle Ages and selectively re-creates them in the modern world.
Geographically, the SCA covers the globe, with the majority of its members living in the
United States or Canada. There are 19 kingdoms, each with its own King and Queen chosen on
the field of combat. You are a subject of a kingdom by virtue of where you live for the
majority of the year. Your membership is with the Society, not with any particular local
group. If you have any questions, contact the person who is listed as Seneschal of your
kingdom. Their names appear in Tournaments Illuminated and in each kingdom newsletter.
