Period Research
In an attempt to become a more well rounded artisan within the Society for Creative Anachronism, I'm going to start keeping a log of my research practices. It is my intent that as I conduct research and experimentation to get my work a little more closely accurate to period, others might benefit from the footwork and notations that I make.
For many years, I've studied the research of others - it's my turn to try and contribute to the artisan communities.

Constructive feedback is both welcome and appreciated, please let me know if I missed some pertinent information or if there's somewhere I can improve.
As always, thanks for reading!
