Forlagið Søga Føroya /History Press Faroe Islands published in December 2010 the book Fólk í Leirvík í 1901 – í myndum og teksti.

The authors have spent years collecting old photographs (from before 1925) of the 309 residents who lived in the village of Leirvík on Eysturoy by the census in 1901. This has resulted in a unique visual cross section of the village’s history.
