Flags of the World
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For a list of flags, see List of flags.
Flags of the World (or FOTW) is the Internet's largest website devoted to vexillology, containing comprehensive information about all kinds of flags. Currently it contains more than 31,000 pages about flags and more than 59,000 images of flags. There are several mirrors of the FOTW website.
The main source for material on the FOTW website are contributions to the FOTW mailing list, which currently has somewhat over 800 members. An editorial staff of unpaid volunteers manages and edits the site. The website is usually updated once a week with fresh material, but some mirrors update monthly. Due to the high amount of material the editing might take some time, so that FOTW might contain outdated information. There are also some mirrors that have not been updated, so they are considered "historical."
