Welcome to the SCA-librarians list, Apollonia,

You mention that you are from the Shire of Owlisherste. I've not  
heard of this Shire before. Do you know what the name stands for and  
why it was chosen or any interesting tidbits about how and why its  
armory was selected? I run a website called the Florilegium and in  
the section SCA-STORIES I have a pair of placenames-msg file giving  
such info for various groups. Of indeed I don't have any info in  
there on the Shire of Owlisherste, I'd love to get a message I could  
add to the second of the two files.

You mention an interest in researching and creating new things. Have  
you written any articles on SCA subjects or projects you have  
researched? I'm always looking for good additions for the  
Florilegium. Since the site is free, I'm afraid I have no funds  
available to pay authors, but the copyright stays with the author and  
I will take updates or withdrawl requests at any time. I also have no  
problem with an article being published elsewhere. I just want to get  
good, useful info out to where SCA folks can use it. The site does  
have readers from all over the Known World and has a pretty high 'hit  
rate', so it does offer some visibility for your work.

The same offer goes for anyone else on this list as well. A&S  
documentation and class handouts will often work as well, if they can  
stand-alone without the class or A&S project.

Thanks for listening,

Stefan
