In Norway there are&nbsp;nine regional archives. 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 hte 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.
