B: 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.
