Peter Orenski is currently conducting research on the meaning of the term vexillologist.  The word has been in use for nearly 50 years, and we wish to discover just how it is being used.  Please consider completing the survey below to assist us in our task.

1. What does the term 'vexillologist' mean to you?
2. Do you consider yourself a vexillologist? Please explain your answer briefly.
3. What are your main flag activities? (check as many as apply):
   • Collector (flags, books, flag souvenirs, etc.)
   • Research on various flag topics
   • Hobbyist
   • Member of a subscription-based flag organization
   • Member of a flag discussion group
   • Sell flags & flag-related items
   • Write articles/books on flag topics

4. How and when (to the best of your memory!) did you first encounter the term vexillology?
5. Please feel free to add any other thoughts you have on the subject of vexillology.
