Flag Organizations

Today many flag study societies exist in different parts of the world. They are called 'vexillological associations' as they study vexillology, the study of flags. Vexillology as a word is derived from the Latin vexillum, a term used by the Romans to refer to a kind of standard with a piece of fabric hung from a horizontal crossbar on a pole. It is the nearest equivalent in the classical languages to what we call a flag today. If you want to find out more about flags then a good way of doing it is to join your local flag society. Hopefully you'll find the address of one below.

FIAV

The international organization to which these societies belong is FIAV (Fédération internationale des associations vexillologiques), the International Federation of Vexillological Associations. FIAV was founded in 1967. Every two years it holds an International Congress of Vexillology (ICV). The 26th ICV was held in Sydney, Australia in 2015 and the next will be held in London, UK in 2017.

The flag of FIAV is dark blue with a gold knot design in the centre:
