Some of the sources you will want to use are also available in major libraries in Norway and in the United States. Contact these libraries and ask about their collection, hours, and services. The '''Nasjonalbiblioteket '''is the largest library in Norway and its function is similar to that of The Library of Congress. By law they are to receive a copy of everything that is published in all media formats in Norway. | Some of the sources you will want to use are also available in major libraries in Norway and in the United States.
