About Us

Our Goals

This Reenactment Society is made up of reenactors who voluntarily participate for the purpose of educating themselves and the public about the history, culture, and the people who lived during the Viking Age. These reenactors are not affiliated with any modern or historical political party or organization; we also do not endorse, tolerate, nor condone the politics, views, beliefs, and/or activities of any political party or organization in existence during this period of history or in the modern era. 

Why Nyr Jorvik?

Nyr is the Old Norse word for New.

Jorvik was the town occupied for nearly 100 years that became York.


This should help you get a feel for just who we are as a group. 

BYLAWS:

SECTION 1 – STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The Nyr Jorvik Vikings is an inclusive social club dedicated to the research, education, and preservation of Viking historical life from 700-1000 Scandinavia.

SECTION 2 – OBJECTIVES OF REENACTING

We believe that the purpose of reenacting has at least three (3) objectives:

1. To inform and educate each participant and visitor at events about Viking culture and history by creating an atmosphere in which mutual dialogue is encouraged;

2. To enable each participant to share, on a personal basis, their area of knowledge of Viking culture and history

3. To participate in an activity merely for enjoyment.

SECTION 3 – AFFILIATION OF REENACTORS

We are an organization made up of Reenactors who voluntarily participate for the purpose of educating themselves and the public about the history, culture, and the people who lived during the Viking age. We are not affiliated with any modern political party or organization.  We are not affiliated with any modern or historical religious organization. We are not affiliated with any existing social groups in this area of expertise.

Members shall not harangue members with their political, religious, ideological, or social beliefs nor lecture those beliefs to the public while representing Nyr Jorvik.

SECTION 4 – CONDUCT OF REENACTORS

We shall strive to be as historically accurate as possible while maintaining safety and in keeping all activities friendly and inclusive to all.

SECTION 5 – CONDUCT OF MEMBERS

Members shall conduct themselves in a manner which brings no discredit upon the group or any affiliates. To that end, each Member shall treat other Members with respect, inclusion, and equity.
