Statuta Armorum is an affiliation of like-minded medievalist groups. The goal of this treaty is such to eliminate animosity between groups and foster cooperation and support between groups by giving guidelines for group interaction. This treaty may be a bridge and foundation upon which members of various groups can interact and function in more than one group and through the treaty various groups can hold events in common for the benefit of all the member groups while maintaining their own autonomy. The Statuta Armorum Treaty at a National level merely provides a forum for organizations so that groups remain independent while providing dissemination of information about weapons construction, armor requirements, and combat conventions research and historical trades for each member group. This in turn allows members from other groups to participate more easily in all member organizations.
