Current data for Description

Website showcasing work produced by PhDs on the AHRC-funded Orkney Viking Heritage Project.

The Orkney Viking Heritage Project was a training programme for PhD students and early career researchers in the field of Old Norse-Icelandic and Viking Studies (ONIVS), which aimed to extend academic research about the Viking diaspora and its tangible and non-tangible heritage in the British Isles. The Project addresses the evident skills gap in the Strategic Area of Heritage and engages with the Emerging Theme of Translating Cultures. It comprised a Preparatory Workshop in Oxford bringing together academics, young scholars and heritage professionals, and a Field School in Orkney providing hands-on experience of a heritage landscape, and enabled the translation of findings into accessible multi-media formats for public dissemination as exhibition resources.

The Orkney Viking Heritage Project was a collaborative initiative led by the following institutions:
 
The Faculty of English, University of Oxford
The Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic, University of Cambridge 
The School of English, University of Nottingham
The Centre for Nordic Studies, University of the Highlands and Islands

It was funded by a Collaborative Skills Development Grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).
