These links were compiled by Mistress Anastasia Gutane. These are some of the best links she knows to help folks who are involved in the SCA, whether you're new or have been around a while. I don't guarantee that everything they say is true (this is the web, after all), but they are all links that seem to have had great thought put into them, and they are all links she trusts.
If you have a (non-commercial) link you'd like to have added to this list, please feel free to send it to me and I'll try to add it!

Note: This handbook is published by an SCA group based in Australia, so a small bit of the information (mostly around money) is not relevant to the SCA in the US. The bulk of the information is the same there as here, however.
