ARV means ‘heritage’. ARV: Nordic
Yearbook of Folklore explores our mental heritage, folklore, as the foundation
of our culture, our patterns of interaction and our world view. Folklore, i.e.
popular poetry, belief and custom, is an important identity factor for every
nation, in recent as well as historical times. ARV was founded in 1945 as a
Nordic-wide journal and is still published by the Royal Gustavus Adolphus
Academy in Uppsala. ISSN 0066-8176
