Makers and sellers Scandinavian

For many centuries people in the Scandinavian countries have been skating. Even though the history of the Scandinavian skate does not date as far back as in the Netherlands, the evolution in skate making differs quite considerably from other countries where skating is popular. It yields a fascinating story, which will be dealt with in chronological order.
Each article covers a period (see the menu below) and consists of three chapters: Overview, Evolution in types of skate and Skate makers.

Disclaimer
Most of my research into the history of Scandinavian skating and skate making took place in the years 2001-2003. Unfortunately many internet sources from those days are no longer available anymore.
