About the Society of Creative Anachronism: The SCA was started in 1966 in Berkeley, California by a group of science fiction and fantasy fans who wanted a theme party. Following the party, a group got together to discuss the idea of a medieval re-creation and re-enactment group (which has ended up being much like the Civil War, Revolutionary War or Buck-skinning re-enactment groups that were beginning to form in the US). In Britain, medieval and British Civil War recreation societies had existed for any number of years. The Californians incorporated as a non-profit educational society, started forming groups, and the rest is, as they say, history… The SCA is an international organization dedicated to researching and re-creating the arts and skills of pre-17th-century Europe. The Known World” consists of 19 Kingdoms, with over 30,000 members residing in countries around the world. Members, dressed in clothing of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, attend events which may feature tournaments, arts exhibits, classes, workshops, dancing, feasts, and more. Each Kingdom’s royalty” hold courts at which they recognize and honor members for their contributions to the group. For more information about the SCA, please visit their web site .
