The Flag Heritage Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Danvers, MA, dedicated to the knowledge, preservation, and study of flags. With a history spanning over a thousand years, flags serve as a powerful vehicle of human expression, conveying information about nationality, belief, identity, and more. Through the formal study of vexillology, the Foundation aims to deepen our understanding of flags, their cultural significance, and their role in various fields such as history, art, political science, and anthropology. As a mirror of culture, flags offer valuable insights into the world we live in, enriching studies in diverse disciplines. Led by Dr. Whitney Smith, a renowned expert in the field, the Foundation recognizes the multiplicity of flag designs and uses, acknowledging that it is impossible to collect them all. Nonetheless, their work contributes to a broader understanding of flags and their significance, fostering knowledge that spans across history, art, psychology, and regional studies.Generated from the website
