About the project

Serbian Historical Corpus

The “Serbian Historical Corpus” (SIK) is a project of the organisation Kulturni element that brings together central databases on Serbian history and tradition — heraldry, endowments, cultural heritage, churches and monasteries.

Serbian Heraldry is the first digital central register of insignia, linking scholarly facts with a modern presentation of our heritage.

The study of insignia

Heraldry and vexillology

Heraldry

The study of coats of arms, which examines the origin of insignia and the rules for creating them. A coat of arms is a visual name and surname that preserves honour and heritage through the centuries.

Vexillology

The study of flags, which explores the symbolism and use of banners. A flag is a living symbol that flies as the moving identity of a community.
