This Collection analyses popular medievalism in material and public culture from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, with an emphasis on popular medievalist theatre, parades and public spectacles, as well as recreational, literary and political associations.

Description
An account of the resource
This is one of several ‘battle’ images from the NEMAS Easter Gathering in Armidale, NSW, in 2008. A number of medieval re-creation enthusiasts are engaged in close combat. They are armed with swords and what look to be mostly kite shields, and wear an assortment of different early medieval helmet styles. These include Norman style helmets with nasal bars and kettle hats.
The Gathering is a biannual assembly of re-enactment societies from Australasia traditionally hosted by the New England Medieval Arts Society Inc (or NEMAS). At these gatherings, members aim to recreate medieval arts and craft such as woodworking, blacksmithing, tanning, spinning and weaving, as well as arms and armour construction. The photo gallery depicts scenes of daily life: market stalls, people sitting around campfires, even a King and his attendants, as well as recreated battles.

Description
An account of the resource
The New England Medieval Arts Society (NEMAS) are a historical re-enactment group based in the New South Wales city of Armidale. The group concentrates on the fourth- to eleventh-century early medieval period (sometimes referred to as the ‘Dark Ages’), featuring such groups as the Byzantines, Anglo-Saxons, Normans, and Vikings. As well as weapons, armour, and battles, the group also re-creates woodworking, blacksmithing, tanning, spinning, and weaving. NEMAS headquarters is at a longhouse built in the Armidale State Forest. The longhouse was a building form common among ‘Germanic’ peoples, such as the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, in early medieval Europe.
