In the last few years, she has worked mainly on the web site Orðabelgur – Historical Conceptual Collection of the National Archives of Iceland. During her long career as a archivist at the National Archives of Iceland, Björk has dug in on the content of various concepts and abnormalities, clarifying words and phrases, and finding the meanings of symbols and abbreviations in a wide variety of documents and data that she has been reviewing and reviewing for the past few years. This knowledge she has kept with her conscience and is published on the web.

One of Björk’s more complex tasks in recent years has been to search for and write explanations for the objects of the past. Her last work at the National Archives was to compile an explanation of these objects and on this occasion the publication Mál og vog. Mælieiningar fyrri alda, both in print and in webcast, was published. The publication is open and accessible on the National Archives website and can be read or downloaded here (in Icelandic). The explanations are also available in Orðabelgur and will be a little doubt to the relief of many scholars.
