Download: $35.00 Viking Heritage Magazine started in 1995 as a result of the Council of Europe work on Cultural routes. It developed through time into a well known magazine, with subscribers in 26 countries.
The work was partly financed by the County Administration of Gotland, Sweden, and some EU funding. When these funding ended in 2005, Gotland University did not have the means of going on supporting the magazine, while we had to cancel the publishing of the magazine in the end of the year 2005.
This digital compilation holds all the numbers available today, from the very beginning in 1995 to the end of 2005. There are though some numbers missing, most of all from the early years. Some of the issues we have scanned, but the last 5 years are digital versions and in very good quality.
In all, there, are 34 numbers of the magazine, with more then 600 pages of interesting reading about the Viking world, written by scholars from USA to Russia.

Most of the objects are from the island of Gotland, Sweden, or from mainland Sweden, mainly from the town of Birka. Still, some of the objects represented are very typical of the Viking Age use of bone or antler, especially when it comes to needles. Most of the objects are from the 9th-11th century, but many objects look the same as those from the Early Iron Age well into the Middle Ages.
