The University of Oslo is currently conducting the Great Viking Survey, a wide-ranging study to explore how people across the world perceive and engage with the vikings as history and heritage, and to map the many ways in which contemporary media and academia shape these views. This online survey invites anyone, anywhere, over 18, to share their thoughts on the iconic viking warrior figure, as well as the enduring legacy and memory of the vikings in the modern world. In doing so, researchers will be able to shine an unprecedented light on the means and mechanisms that allow images and myths of the vikings to be shaped and spread in the public sphere.

If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our work, please don't hesitate to contact us.
We are reaching out on behalf of the Scottish Co-operative Discovery Centre (SCDC) in West Calder, a community-led heritage project supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Our project celebrates the rich history of the Scottish Co-operative movement, uncovering its hidden stories and showcasing its incredible impact on communities across Scotland. Through this work, we aim to create a vibrant exhibition at the SCDC, highlighting the movement's legacy engagingly and inclusively. We're contacting various local history organisations across Scotland to see if they'd like their areas recognised in our Discovery Centre once it is completed.
A key focus of our work is to uncover and amplify the voices of often-overlooked groups that contributed to the Co-operative movement, such as disabled individuals, women, and LBGTQ people. By highlighting their roles, we aim to tell a more complete and inclusive story of this critical movement.
To make our vision a reality, we're seeking stories, photographs, and objects from people connected to Scotland's Co-operative movement. These contributions will help us preserve this important history for future generations. Could your organization help us spread the word? A simple statement shared with your audience—via email, newsletters, or social media—would go a long way in helping us reach individuals and communities who may have valuable stories or artefacts to share—ideally directing them towards our Memories of Scotland's Co-operatives Facebook page.
If you have any further questions, then please contact Alex Dodd (Scottish Co-operative Discovery Centre West Calder and Harburn Community Development Trust) at [email protected] or connect with us through our dedicated Facebook page: Memories of Scotland's Co-operatives.
