There is so much to see and do in the SCA, it can be very overwhelming to get started. Here are some online resources that can help you as you begin your journey:
SCA 101

Research Tools
- https://marginalia-search.com/ – This is a search engine deliberately tuned to find “web 1.0” type websites. A lot of interesting references, knowledge bases, and even websites specifically created by SCAdians over the years are very difficult to find with modern search engines, which ignore them because they aren’t flashy. This search engine will help you find those sites.
Fabric
With most brick and mortar fabric stores now closed, it can be very difficult to know where to purchase fabric. These are some options. (For fancier-looking fabrics, thrift store curtains can sometimes be an option.)
