Raven: A Journal of Vexillology

Established in 1994 by then-president Scot Guenter, NAVA’s scholarly, peer-reviewed journal is published annually.  Typically, issues of Raven contain articles on a variety of flag-related topics.  Special issues have appeared as books (on flags of tribes, U.S. cities, Canadian cities, Russian regions, and the Vatican).  Articles appearing in Raven are abstracted and indexed in Historical Abstracts and America: History and Life.  Scholars can also access articles through EBSCO.
