Heraldry of the world : updates

What is new on Heraldry of the world ?

This is a private site and I am working irregularly on the site since 1996. Whenever I make additions these will be listed here. Small technical changes are not listed, sometimes an update of a single file is mentioned (but not always), sometimes for a whole region. This file was started on June 1, 2008 and was stopped in June 2010.

Since June 2010 the site is being moved to a new location. Changes and updates to the site can now be seen at:
