DIS-Norge - Genealogiske ressurser

Nowegian sources

Digitalarkivet: "The Digital Archive is a result of the co-operation between the History department at the University of Bergen, and the Regional State Archives of Bergen, a part of the National State Archives.

New times need new solutions and this co-operation is an expression of such.

The National Archives of Norway, under the leadership of the Director General, are protectors of important parts of our national memory and heritage.
Previously we have passed on knowledge from this memory, to all those who have either written to us or visited our search-rooms, through publications, lectures, data-based registers and microfilms. Now new technical solutions can give our old and new users easier access to large amounts of information found in the National Archives and the Regional State Archives.


Archives themselves are mediators of information, and it is important for me as Director General of the National Archives, that we reach out to new groups with our sources and our knowledge.

The Digital Archive is a new solution to old needs - the need to consult source materials. I hope therefore that this new service will be widely used. However, please remember that all our old services are still very much at hand.
