... for this especially late blog post. Because I got distracted. By not one, not two, but three repositories:
Fornvännen, a Swedish journal, has searchable archives online. The articles are (of course) in Swedish; if you search for Inga Hägg, you will get several articles by her about Viking garments.
Also online, also for free: the London and Middlesex Archaeological Society's Transactions. Plus their newsletters and special papers. The archives go from 1860 to 2005, and the Transactions themselves are quite substantial.
And thirdly, the Durham e-theses - you can browse by department, see the newest additions, or search for a term.
I will get back to digging some more in these three places now. Yay for research to be found online!
