New digital map featuring 2,100 place names launched by John Berg and Leivur Nygaard in Hvalba

A new digital map featuring 2,100 place names has been launched by John Berg and Leivur Nygaard, with support from the municipality of Hvalba.

This extensive project commenced three years ago and is now available for public viewing. The digital map can be accessed on the official Hvalba website by selecting “Staðarnøvn” from the left-hand menu.

For those interested in a deeper understanding of the project, a longer interview with John Berg is available, providing insights into the creation and significance of the digital map.

Overall, this initiative highlights the importance of preserving local heritage and improving accessibility to geographical information in the Hvalba area.
