VIKING
SOCIETY WEB PUBLICATIONS
The
Viking Society for Northern Research is making virtually all its publications
(and some other related items) from inception in 1895 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.le.ac.uk/ee/viking/index.html ). 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.
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).
