Start with the flag, not the answer
FindMyFlag was built around a simple problem: flag references are useful when you know what to search for, but much less useful when all you have is an unknown flag in a photograph.
Identify a flagWhy FindMyFlag exists
There are excellent flag books, online catalogues and specialist archives containing an enormous amount of vexillological information. The awkward part is discovery. Many are not searchable by image, and historical books are often not meaningfully searchable by their printed text either.
If you do not know the country, organisation, period or even what type of flag you are looking at, you may have no idea which book or website contains the answer. FindMyFlag turns that workflow around: begin with the image and let visual similarity narrow the search space.
From FlagGeek to FindMyFlag
FindMyFlag was created by Kenny Ytrup, founder of FlagGeek.net. The project grew from documenting and researching flags into a broader question: could separate digital references and historical books be made searchable from the flag image itself?

The goal is not to replace the original references. It is to make them discoverable. As more compatible collections and historical books are processed, a single image search can cover material that would otherwise require knowing where to look before the research even starts.
