What is
GALINN GRUND ONLINE?

Center and Library serves as an between the world of contemporary
scholarship and serious students of Viking-Age history, culture, and
mythology, regardless of their educational status or affiliation.
Galinn Grund makes the best of contemporary Viking-Age scholarship
available to researchers, students, academicians, and independent
scholars and promotes the free exchange of information, ideas, and
research. The foundation’s new website, Galinn Grund Online, will
continue to advance these objectives by means of the following
features:
Book Reviews:
The site features an extensive and growing selection of reviews of
the best (and worst) contemporary scholarship on Viking-Age history,
culture, and religion.
Conferences:
The Conferences page offers up-to-the-minute information on upcoming
scholarly conferences and symposia, including calls for papers and
reports on recent events.
Runes:

announcements concerning serious contemporary scholarship on runic
inscriptions, historical rune magic, and related topics.
Bibliographies:
The Galinn Grund Viking Center Library includes thousands of books
and journal articles by the top modern scholars in Old Norse
studies, runography, and related disciplines. These have been
organized into bibliographies by subject area, which can serve as
reading lists or study guides for researchers. Some material can be
downloaded for use by researchers, subject to international
copyright restrictions. Bibliographical listings are currently
posted for Runic Studies and the Prose Edda. Bibliographies for the
Poetic Edda and Myth & Religion will be up soon, followed by many
more specialized topic listings.
