Title A name given to the resource Orkney Viking Heritage Project Subject The topic of the resource Viking heritage; Orkney; reception; doctoral training Description An account of the resource 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 addressed the evident skills gap in the Strategic Area of Heritage and engaged 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 theme of the 2012 Midlands Viking Symposium was linked to the Project.

Title A name given to the resource View inside the Round Tower of St Magnus Church, Egilsay Subject The topic of the resource Church Description An account of the resource St Magnus Church, founded at the site of the killing of Saint Magnus Erlendsson, Earl of Orkney by an axe-blow to the head in ca. 1116 at the orders of his cousin Hákon Pálsson. This episode, referred to in Orkneyinga saga, is possibly corroborated by a damaged skull found in a hidden cavity in St Magnus Cathedral in the early twentieth century. The church has a distinctive round tower, more typical of Irish churches.
