Welcome to CamoPedia
Camopedia (Camouflage Encyclopedia) is the brainchild of Henrik Clausen and Eric H Larson. Our goal is to create a comprehensive, accurate, and academically-supported database referencing all the major military and paramilitary camouflage patterns that have been used throughout all time periods.
Primary sources for the information presented here include: data from official publications or nomenclature, photographs, physical specimens (with provenance, if possible), published material, and occasionally unpublished material from academic or military sources. Although we shall do our best to cite references when appropriate, all text presented here remains our own and we take full responsibility for any errors or mistakes encountered. This website and all it contains is copyrighted 2010 -- All rights reserved.
We gratefully acknowledge the assistance of fellow members of the International Camouflage Uniform Society (ICUS) for their photographic contributions and assistance in clarifying some data for these articles.
Original submissions, corrections and additional information are welcomed, although we cannot credit individual authors or submissions directly. We do respectfully ask that all data to be considered for inclusion on this site be appropriately documented, or references cited.
