Hello #ArchMoL19 @museumliverpool. I want to share information about viking legends in Merseyside which I learnt about while developing the free ‘Viking Age in the NW’ app @LivUni. Legends are living heritage which show creative engagement with the past. 1/10 @MuseumLiverpool @LivUni @UptonVikingFest @WirralVikings @Wirral_Archaeol @VikingAgePod @wirralhistory @cwacmuseums @livuniHSS @LivAncWorlds @GarstangMuseum Legends are often captured through informal channels and travel by word of mouth. The stories shift over time and risk being lost. Legends can also preserve inaccurate information, blurring the boundaries between fact and fiction. #ArchMoL19 2/10
