Sturgeon's House is a document based forum which has been active since 2014. It is home to many educational resources, including primary source document dump threads, the ultimate English-language thread on the Syrian Civil War, and a highly active Mechanized Warfare subforum.

SH is a community that values high signal-to-noise ratio posting. We have cultivated a community of high quality posters who each bring a valued perspective as researchers and analysts. SH has always been user-supported, but as the community has grown it and hosting costs have increased has become necessary to formalize this relationship more. Hence, we are now enabling SH members and readers to show their support by becoming monthly patrons through Patreon.

The purpose of this Patreon is not to make the administrators of SH any money. SH has always been a not-for-profit endeavor. It is simply to keep up with the cost of hosting such an active community, so that all its users and readers can enjoy it.
