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from official publications or nomenclature, photographs, physical specimens (with provenance), published material, and unpublished material from academic or military sources that can be verified. 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. Except in instances where we have used photographs in the public domain, 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 some photographic contributions and assistance in clarifying data for these articles.
Original submissions, corrections and additional information are welcomed, although we are not able to credit individual submissions directly. We do, however, encourage anyone with clear photographic examples of any patterns not represented (or those reprsented only by photographs borrowed from the public domain) to submit them so we may add to and improve the site. Any data to be considered for inclusion on this site should be appropriately documented, or references cited.
