Company of Military Hisitorians

The Company of Military Historians was founded in 1949 as an educational, scientific, and literary institution devoted to the study and dissemination of: "information on the uniforms, equipment, history, and traditions of members of the Armed Forces of the United States worldwide and other nations serving in the Western Hemisphere." Members receive a quarterly publication, the Military Collector & Historian (familiarly, the Company Journal). The Journal is professional in content and is profusely illustrated. Its richly annotated articles cover such subjects as weapons, accoutrements, uniforms, materiel, and colors and standards. They also include information on military organizations, unit histories, military art and artists, recently published books and other publications, and the activities of the society and its members. The Company also publishes and distributes a series of military prints, Military Uniforms in America, to those who wish to subscribe. A general meeting is held annually, usually over a Spring weekend that includes seminars, discussion groups, exhibits, tours of historic sites, a flea market, a business meeting, a dinner, and appropriate entertainment.
