Highlight of the month at The National Library


Highlight of the month at the National Library of Iceland in January 2020 came from the collection of The Women's History Archives.

It is the oldest document preserved at The Women's History Archives. It is signed by Benedikt Vigfússon at Hólar in Hjaltadalur on the 31st of January 1838 and documents his donation of the farm Utanverðarnes in the memory of his thirteen year old daughter Hólmfríður.
