==About the site==
The site was created in 1996 as Nederlandse Gemeentewapens (Dutch civic arms, hence the domain name www.ngw.nl) and went global in 1999 as International Civic Arms, since 2010 it is known as Heraldry of the World. It is by far the largest collection of civic coats of arms ever published and still growing.
 
Although as much information on the arms as possible will be included, like pictures, meaning and history, often there is just a picture, not a description of the arms, nor a history. Any additional information thus is welcome !
 
The site has been on-line continuously since 1996 and started as a private hobby. Currently the majority of the site is still maintained by Ralf Hartemink, the founder and owner, with increasing contributions from other people, due to the wiki structure of the site. However, due to the enormous amount of material available, the site will always be under construction !
