__NOTOC__
== Purpose  ==


Archives collect and preserve original documents of organizations such as churches or governments. Libraries generally collect published sources such as books, maps, and microfilm. This section describes the major repositories of genealogical and historical records and sources for Norway.  
The Danish county jurisdictions were changed in 1793-1794. The parish infoboxes reflect the county each one belonged to both before and after this change. This is an important distinction in research, as it can greatly influence where genealogists look for their records.


If you plan to visit one of these repositories, contact the organization and ask for information about their collection, hours, services, and fees. When writing to an archive in Norway, you may write in English.
== Contact  ==


Although the records you need may be in an archive or library in Norway, the Family History Library and the Norwegian American Genealogical Center (NAGC) (see the "[[Norway Societies|Societies]]" section) may have a microfilm copy of them. The Family History Library has copies of many records from Norwegian archives and libraries.
[[User:Amberannelarsen|Amber Larsen]]  


In Norway there are several major types of genealogical repositories:
== Task List  ==


*National archives
[[User:Amberannelarsen/Sandbox6|Task List]]
*Regional archives
*Church parish offices
*University and public libraries
*Historical and genealogical societies 


=== National Archives <br> ===
== Instructions==
=== Step 1 - Pick a set of Parishes ===


The Norwegian government collects records relating to Norwegian history, culture, and people. Records of genealogical value at the national archives include census records, military records, and emigration lists. The National Archives of Norway is open to the public. You may purchase microfilms or request photocopies of the records by using forms obtained from the archives.  
1. Go to the [[User:Amberannelarsen/Sandbox6|Task List]] and sign up for a span of wiki pages to fix. <br>
<br>
<br>
2. Go to the first parish page in your respective span of pages.<br>

=== DIGITALARKIVET (The Digital Archives)  ===
 
The digital Archives is a public service from the National Archives of Norway.&nbsp; Transcribed, indexed, and original records can be searched for free. [https://digitalarkivet.no/ Digital Arckivet]
 
=== Regional/Municipal Archives  ===
 
In Norway there are&nbsp;eight regional archives and&nbsp;1 Sami Archive. They serve as repositories for records of their particular areas. Records of genealogical value at regional archives include birth, marriage, and death records (church records); land records; and court records. The regional archives of Norway are open to the public. The regional archives may also have records on microfilm for areas that are not under their jurisdiction.&nbsp; The archives also have much of the printed genealogical material such as farm books (bygdebøker) that pertains to the area they cover.&nbsp; Check what hours they are open before you visit.&nbsp; Hours of operation are usually shorter during the summer.
 
The regional archives for the various counties [fylker] are listed below.

[http://memorial.library.wisc.edu/ The Memorial Library at the University of Wisconsin-Madison] has one of the largest collections of Norwegian local histories in the United States, and these histories contain much genealogical information. Dennis Auburn Hill has published a bibliography of their holdings:
''Norwegian Local History: A Bibliography of the Material in the Collections of the Memorial Library'' (Jefferson, NC, USA: McFarland, 1989; FHL book 977.583/M1 A3hi;
Other libraries that have large collections of Norwegian local histories include:<br><br>[http://www.library.und.edu/index.jsp Chester Fritz Library], University of North Dakota—Grand Forks<br>[http://www.augie.edu/library/ Mikkelsen Library], Augustana College, Sioux Falls, South Dakota<br>[http://www.stolaf.edu/library/libs/rolvaag.html Rølvaag Library], St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minnesota<br>[http://library.luther.edu/ Luther College, Decorah], Iowa <br>[http://library.cord.edu/ Concordia College], Moorhead, Minnesota
=== Historical and Genealogical Societies  ===
Norway has some organized historical and genealogical societies. Some maintain libraries or archives that collect valuable genealogical records. For more information, including addresses of some societies, see the "[[Norway Societies|Societies]]" section.
=== Archives in the United States  ===
The archives of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) have microfilm copies of most of the Norwegian-American Lutheran church records. The copies can be loaned via the mail for a nominal fee. The ELCA is divided into nine regions. The regional archives may have additional information.
To contact staff with questions about the Norwegian Lutheran church records in the United States, go to:<br>[http://www.elca.org/archives Norwegian Lutheran Church Archives]
You may visit the ELCA archives in person by appointment only:<br>ELCA Archives<br>321 Bonnie Lane<br>Elk Grove Village, IL 60007<br>Phone: 1-847-690-9410 <br>http://www.elca.org/archives/

<br>
Other records of Norwegians in America are kept at the National Archives. These include service and pension, naturalization, immigration, and homestead records. For information, write to:
The National Archives of the United States<br>Washington, D.C. 20408<br>http://www.archives.gov/<br><br>Other United States records are kept on a state and county level.
'''Computer Networks and Bulletin Boards'''
Computers with modems can be useful tools for obtaining information from selected archives and libraries. In fact, computer networks themselves serve as libraries. The Internet, certain computer bulletin boards, and commercial online services help family history researchers:
*Locate other researchers
*Post queries
*Send and receive e-mail
*Search large databases
*Search computer libraries
*Join in computer chat and lecture sessions
You can use online services to find computerized research tips and information about ancestors from Norway in many sources at local, provincial, national and international levels. The list of sources is growing rapidly. Most information is available at no cost.
Internet sites that include information about archives, censuses, church records, probate records, and military records are found in various [[Norway Genealogy|Norway]] Wiki articles. Some sites that act as an index to many useful Norwegian genealogical sites include:
National Archive in Norway (Riksarkivet):<br>[http://www.uncoverthenet.com/listing/24505.php www.riksarkiveet.no]<br>Digital Archive:<br>[http://www.hist.uib.no/arkivverket www.hist.uib.no/arkivverket]<br>GenWeb:<br>[http://www.rootsweb.com/~wgnorway www.rootsweb.com/~wgnorway]<br>Family History Department<br>[http://www.familysearch.org/ www.familysearch.org/
=== Inventories, Registers, Catalogs  ===
Some archives have catalogs, inventories, guides, or periodicals that describe their records and how to use them. Write to each archive you are interested in for a guide to its collection. If one is available, study it before you visit or use the records during your visit so you can use your time more effectively. Some guides are listed in the FamilySearch Catalog under the Place search with the heading ARCHIVES AND LIBRARIES and the subheading INVENTORIES, REGISTERS, AND CATALOGS.
=== Websites ===


[https://www.archivesportaleurope.net/topics Archives Portal Europe] provides access to information on archival material from Norway as well as information on archival institutions throughout the European continent.
