- Lending technical assistance to the web ministers of the recognized branches and groups who reside within the Kingdom of Atlantia.
If you have a question or run into a problem on an Atlantian website, please either use this form to submit a trouble ticket, or send an email to webteam@group.atlantia.sca.org if you have an issue with the form.
Becoming a Group Webminister
Group Webministers (meaning webministers for Baronies, Cantons, Shires, and other official groups) should be selected according to their group’s requirements for selecting officers.
Group webministers are responsible for the maintenance of their group’s website as well as ensuring content is updated appropriately. They may request warrants for deputies to assist them as needed. Anyone with credentials to access the backend of an Atlantian website MUST be warranted.

All webministers are welcome to reach out for support at any time, but are specifically required to file a report at the end of each year. The 2025 Reporting Form link will be published here later this year.
Becoming a Kingdom Deputy Webminister
Kingdom Deputy webministers are appointed at the will of the Kingdom Webminister to assist in maintaining specific areas of the Atlantian infrastructure. They generally have specific applications that they are responsible for like SPIKE, the Order of Precedence, the warrant system, the Wiki, etc. Other Deputies are responsible for maintaining certain websites – like the main Kingdom website, atlantia.sca.org, or subdomains like exchequer.atlantia.sca.org or herald.atlantia.sca.org.
The Kingdom Webteam is always interested in volunteers. If you would like to lend a hand, please email webminister@officer.atlantia.sca.org and we will see where to fit you in. There are tasks at many different levels of technical ability from beginner to expert, and places where we might just need an occasional bit of assistance to full maintenance or redesign of systems.
Reports and other Official Requirements
We recommend that all group Webministers read the Society Webminister Handbook. While not everything in it applies to the needs of group webministers, it is a useful guide to the needs and requirements of the office and our websites.
Group webministers are expected to file a report once a year. The link for the 2025 report will be posted later this year. Webministers are welcome to reach out to the Kingdom Webminister or Web Team at any point for support if there are issues or challenges that arise in their office.
