History of the Faroe Islands
The early history of the Faroe Islands is not clear. It appears that about the beginning of the 9th century Grim Kamban, a Norwegian emigrant who had left his country to escape the tyranny of Harold Haarfager , settled in the islands. It is said that a small colony of Irish and Scottish monks were found in Suduroy and dispersed by him. The Faeroes then already bore their name of Sheep Islands, as these animals had been found to flourish here exceedingly. Early in the 11th century Sigmund or Sigismund Bresterson, whose family had flourished in the southern islands but had been almost exterminated by invaders from the northern, was sent from Norway, whither he had escaped, to take possession of the islands for Olaf Tryggvason , king of Norway. He introduced Christianity , and, though he was subsequently murdered, Norwegian supremacy was upheld, and continued till , when the islands became part of the double monarchy Denmark/Norway English adventurers gave great trouble to the inhabitants in the 16th century , and the name of Magnus Heineson, a native of Streymoy, who was sent by Frederick II , where remains of the cathedral may be seen; but it was abolished at the introduction of

History of the collection of artefacts A number of the artefacts submitted to The National Museum of Denmark over the years have been moved repeatedly. In the 1800s almost all the artefacts were incorporated in the museum's Middle Ages Collection. At the end of the 1800s the museum was extended, and The Danish Folk Museum was founded. Relevant artefacts from the Middle Ages Collection were transferred to the new museum.

A Review of Faroese Postal History
(Nielsen, 1986; Lost og fast af Faeroernes posthistorie; plus separate English translation volume by Amedro, 1996) This gem has been largely inaccessible to collectors of Faroe until Amedro's little-known ENGLISH translation was published. Two volume set; the original with Faroe text and illustrations and then the translation. A very interesting background of the development of Faroe postal history and the post. Will be of great interest to any collector of Faroe covers.
The Faroe Post 1870-2000 (Johannesen, 2000; Postur i Foroyum) An impressive 528-page hardbound volume documenting the history of the Faroe post office (not postal history, but history of the post). Hundreds of illustrations, many in color, including all the stamps. Though entirely in Faroese, the illustrations will be of great interest to serious collectors of Faroe. I even note illustrations of what appears to be Faroese Tin Can Mail!
