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 three 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 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 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 (www.bookscanbureau.co.uk/)
