Welcome to the largest free heraldic bibliography.

The bibliography is a never ending project (started March 2025), which aims to help heraldists in finding heraldic publications, old and modern, common or obscure.

The bibliography will be maintained by a team of volunteers from all over the world who will continuously add new references to the database. For a list of partners, see the menu on the left.

The bibliography is hosted by the free platform Zotero
