Yes, we've posted to reenactor.net as well, but we haven't had much success finding forums that are very active. Any recommendations?

@hurricane: Thank you! Our final findings and project will be made available to everyone once it's all put together. @Mission: Thanks for the fix. :) St. Augustine has a lot of living history museums, and we've found that employees and volunteers at the museums tend to describe themselves as interpreters rather than reenactors. They usually work in first-person or third-person to educate the public about a particular era/culture. And the survey's been updated for better options.

Hello all! We are three student researchers at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida. Historical reenactment and interpretation are a major part of St. Augustine life (the oldest continuously inhabited European-established city in the continental U.S.!), so for an anthropology class we've decided to study both communities, locally and nationally, face-to-face and online. We are looking to discover what they have in common, how they are different, and what motivates individuals to participate in their respective communities. With your permission, we would like to view online forum activity in order to understand how reenactors and interpreters use online communities. Also, we would like to request that you take a few minutes to participate in an online survey collecting basic information. Click here to take survey. If you have any questions or feedback, please let us know! Thank you for your time, Amy, Josh, and Tom aarcher@flagler.edu
