VIKING SOCIETY WEB PUBLICATIONS
The Viking Society for Northern Research is making virtually all its
publications (and some other related items) from inception in 1893 to the
present freely available on this website, though recent titles may not be
released until five years from the date of publication.
These
digital versions are not intended to replace our printed publications, and
titles currently in print will remain available to buy in book form as long as
there is a demand for them (the list can be seen at http://www.vsnr.org/publications/ ). The digital versions are
intended to make the range of our publications known to a wider public, and may
be used for reference purposes, to evaluate books for purchase or for
university courses and for private study. The copyright belongs either to the
authors or to the Viking Society, as stated at the beginning of each work, and
permission must be obtained from the Society to use downloaded versions either
in whole or in part for any other purpose.
Click
on the titles to see the entire text in pdf. To download you will need Acrobat
Reader, which is available to download free from http://www.adobe.com/. Some publications are very large
and may take several minutes to download. Titles which do not at present have a
link will be added in due course. Parts of some publications, such as images,
may have had to be deleted for reasons of copyright.
Searchable
versions of the parts of Saga-Book that were scanned (Vols I–XXII) have kindly
been provided by Nick Dean (nicholasmartindean@hotmail.com).
Just click on the link ‘Searchable version’ after the volume no. below and open
the files in the latest version of Acrobat Reader.
The
scanning of most of the publications here from 1895 to 1992 and conversion to
pdf files was done by Book Scan Bureau (http://www.bookscanbureau.co.uk/digitisation-services.htm).
