The Laurel Sovereigns of Arms issue monthly Letters of Acceptances and Returns (LoARs) as well as certain other official correspondence containing decisions on names and armory, corrections, schedules, policy changes, and so forth.
You can search the letter archive, view collected precedents (1971–2011), or see returns by tenure (1986-2001).
Disclaimers
The Laurel letters are historical records of the SCA College of Arms. The College’s standards have changed dramatically over time. Newer rulings override old ones, so rulings appearing in old letters do not necessarily indicate the current policies and practices of the College.
Older letters were originally issued on paper and later digitized; for those records, if there are any discrepancies with the online versions, the original print documents are considered authoritative.
