In the United States, Seaver worked for Harvard University as secretary at the university library and consultant on their Scandinavian collections, from 1956 to 1960. She later taught Norwegian at Stanford, from 1975 to 1982. In 1994 she joined the Meta Incognita Project,[2] studying Martin Frobisher's Arctic expeditions and attempt to start a colony in Canada.[3]
Seaver is best known for her 2004 book on the history of the Vínland Map, a map whose authenticity has been debated since its first appearance in 1957 and is now considered a forgery.[4] She has also published novels in German and Norwegian.
