Summary
The Icelandic Historical Society was founded on 7 March 1902 by a group
of 30 history enthusiasts united in their interest in publishing works on
Icelandic history in the modern era, genealogy and biography. To mark
the Historical Society's first century, the author traces its history and its
achievements through the 100 years focusing not least on those individu-
als who devoted their time and effort on a more or less voluntary basis as
well as on its principal publications. The Society has emphasised publish-
ing histories of personalities and sources for research on the legislative
and judicial history of Iceland, among which Alþingisbækur íslands
1570-1800 (the Protocols of the Icelandic parliament Althingi) and
Landsyfirréttar-dómar 1800-1874 (High Court Judgments 1800-1874) are the
most voluminous. Since 1950, the Society has also published the journal
Saga, the first and most influential history joumal in the country, and Ný
saga from 1987 to 2001.
