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.
