 You've found reenactor.Net -- the world-wide, on-line home of historical reenacting!Historical reenacting is a great hobby!! And here on reenactor.Net, you will find information about historical reenacting all around the world. Now, you're probably thinking "You mean like the Civil War stuff?" Well, sort of... ANY time period you can think of is reenacted today and we cover them all! So look through the site and maybe you'll find something that interests you enough to get in to it. The links are broken down into what we call "Time/Areas" or simply "T/A's." Each of the T/A's are run by an Assistant Webmaster who is active in that period and holds a great love for it. Not only will you find links to individual unit websites, but also those of overall "parent" organizations. Eventually, each T/A will include a reading list and overall links to other sites which pertain to that period of time. By the way, click HERE to see why this page looks like crap in old Internet Explorer (pre-v.7) ;-(

Gracious visitor and members,, read this:We have had a "portal" system here at reenactor.Net now for a couple of years. We did it to make things easier on us and better for you. We have two main pages: this page, is the older html style, the Portal main is here, but don't worry, all link shere go to the new area pages and it works. We kept this so the search engines can find us and both look much the same. It's always a work in progress but we think this has made r.Net a better place for all -- easier to use and easier for us to maintain.
This whole thing is for you, the reenactors and we know that without YOU it'll all be for naught. So please, visit, read, share your reenacting and living history photos with all of us. Remember, our hobby is one of participation! |

What is "Reenacting?"
"I still don't get it!" Probably the best explanation I have ever heard was this: Imagine your most favourite movie. Imagine being able to "step into" that movie – that's a lot like reenacting. And no, we don't have a script, or anything like that. Our actions are usually just us trying to live in that time period. If you like history, you'll probably like reenacting – one thing to remember though, you WILL feel what it was like. This is not like sitting in an arm chair and reading or watching a movie. In reenacting, you will feel the dirt, the sweat, the wool clothing :-0 (yep, wool – surprisingly comfortable!). You'll learn what period shoes felt like. How the gear was carried; what was comfortable and what wasn't. Often you'll get to try period recipes for foods you've never even thought of. The Romans for example, loved to combine tastes that to us, in the modern world would be (and are) considered weird – pancakes with pepper come to mind. However, when you try these foods, you'll find they aren't bad, just different. Often different in a good way (WWI turnip jam was NOT in a good way though ). So look around, pick something that interests you and jump on in – the water's fine!
Check out the NEW additions to the site page. We try to post the additions along with the date so you can figure out what's new. (okay, so sometimes (often) we don't get around to updating this page as much as we need to... hope to work on that in the future...) Reenacting EventsTo help you find upcoming events, we also have a calendar section which is constantly being updated by our visitors and the event organizers.

So, please 
"Reenacting" or "living history" is a hobby where the participants try to portray people of the past. Some people just have a hard time conceiving of this, they ask "DO they pay you?" NO! "How do you know who wins or who dies?" Some battles are scripted out as to the end, some are called "tacticals" and may have judges or rules as to what happens. Some events are just "living history" (as they are so called), these usually being set up for the public. Many reenactments aren't even done for the public, but instead for us, the reenactors. WWI and WWII events are usually of this type.

Signal Corps Association<http://www.civilwarsignals.org> A communication watering hole for both scholars and period attired re-enactors who study and emulate that span of time (1860-1865) which constitutes the birth of modern military telecommunication. This is a one-of-a-kind site with a very active forum covering both wire and aerial telegraphy, systems of codes, stations of observation and communication, plus lots more. Aspiring over-all commanders and their re-created staffs would do well to visit and ponder the activities of this group. |

Reenacting and Historical Books! Visit Marsh's reenactor Bookstore! If you are looking for books, music CD's or videos about any particular time period, please visit reenactor.Net's on-line store. What does this mean? Do we have a store... Can you come in and yell at us ;-Þ nope, it means we are an "Associate" of Amazon.com! Each of our Time/Areas has (or will have--only a one or two don't have a reading list) a Reading list with links to books at Amazon. This is one of the ways you can help keep reenactor.Net going--the pittance we receive from Amazon when you buy a book through us! |
Anyway, soon we'll have this all redone again, Amazon has come up w/ a newer, better way to help us build our web bookstore. Sometimes it's hard to find books in a time period we don't do, so... if we don't have something that YOU beleive we should, TELL US! :-) If you have any questions about our On-Line Store, please view its F.A.Q. page.
reenactor.Net's Featured book:
The first, was written by my wife's great aunt and is a good read. From the forward of Jeanne Spencer's book
