The Faroese Scientific Society ({{langx|fo|Føroya Fróðskaparfelag}}), was founded in 1952 with the objective of promoting co-operation in all fields of learning, collecting scientific literature, and publishing the results of research on or carried out in the Faroe Islands.{{cite web | url=http://frodskaparfelag.fo/heim/ | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120428173917/http://frodskaparfelag.fo/heim/ | url-status=dead | archive-date=28 April 2012 | title=Um okkum | publisher=Faroese Scientific Society | accessdate=16 October 2015 | language=Faroese }}{{cite web | url=http://frodskaparfelag.fo/vidtokur-felagsins/ | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120208160357/http://frodskaparfelag.fo/vidtokur-felagsins/ | url-status=dead | archive-date=8 February 2012 | title=Viðtøkur felagsins | publisher=Faroese Scientific Society | accessdate=16 October 2015 | language=Faroese }} A yearly periodical, Fróðskaparrit, came to be published annually.
