History
The University of the Faroe Islands was founded in 1965 by
members of the Faroese Scientific Society, founded in 1952. Among
their activities, the Society published a scientific periodical and
carried out comprehensive work on the compilation of Faroese
vocabulary.
The university began with one professor, Christian Matras, and a
registrar, Maud Heinesen. In its first years the school offered
one-year courses in natural history and Faroese for teachers. In
addition to the yearly courses, the university arranged for a
collection committee with the task of preserving all Faroese folk
culture. Today this material is in the archives of the Faculty of
Faroese Language and Literature. A further committee was appointed
in 1972 to collect Faroese hymns and spiritual ballads.
The cache is in a plastic box. Located in the stone wall. The
cache also has a local maintainer: okvalle,
