Norway

The National Library collects, preserves and makes available everything published for the Norwegian public.

In the city of Mo i Rana, the National Library’s collection is secured in large mountain halls, both physically and digitally. There, document-based cultural heritage from Norwegian archives, museums and libraries is digitised and preserved. In the capital, Oslo, the public can visit the 1914 building, which houses exhibitions, events, a cafe and reading rooms. The public can also experience the National Library’s editorial content through podcasts, social media, video reports, and online streaming. The National Library is a research institution that conducts its own research and facilitates other research on the collection. In the online library (https://www.nb.no/search), you can find digitised material from the entire National Library’s collection.
