This illustration was created by an unknown artist for Asgard Stories: Tales from Norse Mythology.

This illustration is from Asgard Stories: Tales from Norse Mythology from the collection of P. A. Baer.

The digital image repository, MyNDIR, began as part of P. A. Baer's Ph.D. project An Old Norse Image Hoard: From the Analog Past to the Digital Present. The original prototype for a digital image repository and web page featured illustrations of Old Norse gods and heroes from manuscripts and early print sources. The website was launched on June 6, 2013 with one hundred and one illustrations.

In the fall of 2018, MyNDIR became part of the Endings Project in the Humanities Computing and Media Centre at the University of Victoria. The purpose of the project is to archive websites by creating a static version of a site that can be used independent of the internet.

I initially used a Roma Schema with the modules: core, tei, header, textstructure, msdescription, namesdates, certainty, figures, transcr and linking.

All proper nouns for the metadata for the illustrations are marked up with TEI P5 by using: <gi>persName</gi> for beings such as gods, giants, humans, authors, illustrators etc. and <gi>name</gi> for animals, monsters, and artifacts. The <att>xml:id</att>s for proper nouns are always mixed case abbreviations that begin with a capital. The <gi>list</gi> elements always have <att>type</att> and usually have <att>subtype</att> as well. All other TEI tags such as: <placeName/> for places, <orgName/> for archives, and <person/> were used in the manner demonstrated by the TEI P5 guidelines. I use the <att>xml:lang</att> for all of these elements. The keyword items for all proper nouns are linked to further descriptive data in a Names directory (names.xml).

Keyword items consisting of simple nouns, are marked up as <gi>term</gi> to correspond to names of artifacts, animals, and monsters, e.g. Megingjörð = belt, Sleipnir = horse, Jörmungandr = serpent. The keyword items for all simple nouns are also entered in the names.xml file. The <att>xml:id</att>s for simple nouns are not abbreviated, always begin in lower case, are always in English, and are camel back when consisting of more than one word.

The critical approach for the selection of illustrations is focused through the theoretical lens of Material Philology which considers books and their material details, such as covers and illustrations, as cultural artifacts. This selection criteria results in a repository of images that is capable of revealing aspects of book history, culture, and production that the words of the texts alone cannot provide. Consequently, iterations of illustrations with minimal differences are not only included but valued for their research potential, e.g., illustrations from the first and second editions of Kongesagaer.

Old Norse orthography was the preferred representation for all names; however the English orthography was supplied in the keywords for Þōrr for Thor. Old Norse, English and other spellings were recorded in the names.xml file.

The spelling conventions for Old Norse conform to the practice established in An Icelandic-English Dictionary Cleasby,Richard and Vigfússon,Guðbrandur Clarendon Press Oxford 1957 , i.e., the stem of the name plus its nominative marker.

In the Prose Edda, Þórr is the son of Óðinn and the giantess Jörð. However, in Heimskringla, he is a mortal.

Richard Wagner based Donner in The Ring Cycle on Þórr.

 Myths<ref target="ThftHmr.xml"><!-- The -->Theft of Þórr's Hammer</ref> This myth concerns the theft of Þórr´s hammer, Mjöllnir, by the giant Þrymir. The gods send Loki to talk to Þrymir and giant says that he will only return the hammer in exchange for marrying Freyja. Heimdallr suggests that Þórr should impersonate Freyja, and the gods persuade Þórr to go to Þrymir dressed as a bride. Þórr seizes Mjöllnir when it is brought to the wedding feast to consecrate the marriage and then kills Þrymir along with the rest of the giants.NounsEdwardianThe Edwardian era began with the reign of King Edward VII, 1901 to 1910 (January 22, 1901 - July 28, 1914). However, the era's end date is sometimes extended to the beginning of World War 1 (28 July 1914). hamarr hammer Source Materials: <ref target="AsgStr-1901.xml">Asgard Stories</ref> Children's book by Mabel Cummings and Mary Foster published in 1901. <ref target="ThrMsKv01.xml">Þrymskviða</ref> <!-- The -->Lay of Thrymr One of the mythological poems preserved in the Poetic Edda that relates the story of the theft of Þórr´s hammer by the giant Þrymr.
