Vexillology

I learn something new every day: "vexillology is the study of flags"

That's from an article which purports to be about the Chicago city flag, but which really is more about picturing other notable city flags, strangely enough.

Another thing I learned: there's a North American Vexillological Association, which seems to have it's own flag:

Wikipedia claims that it "is among the largest vexillological organizations." But no source is cited, and no numbers for membership are given.

Has membership possibly sagged?
Has interest in the subject flagged?
