Do flags interest you? Are you curious about their design, history, and symbolism?  Do you wonder why these bits of cloth have such a profound effect on people and nations?  If your answer is "Yes," then please join us.

NAVA is a scholarly, non-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to the pursuit of Vexillology, the scientific study of flag history and symbolism. Its members come from all fields of vexillology, including flag collectors and historians, government officials, museum directors, flag dealers and manufacturers, writers, designers, and teachers, as well as those interested in flags as a hobby.

NAVA publishes Raven: A Journal of Vexillology and a newsletter, NAVA News, hosts this web site, holds annual meetings, undertakes special projects, and participates in international vexillological events. NAVA has no commercial, religious, or political objectives, nor does it participate in the patriotic promotion of any particular flag. Although based in North America, NAVA's membership is multinational.
