Vexillology
Vexilollogy is the study of Flags. It is another hobby of mine that has helped me to broaden my knowledge of the History, Geography and cultures of the countries of the world.
The following list of websites covers an incredible amount of information on Flags, Emblems and Heraldry. These sites are alphabetically listed rather than in any particular priority but within this set of websites there is Art, Symmetry, Geography and History and I am sure that visits to the sites would not be wasted time. Some I have put **** as sites that I like and have used a fair amount.
