Our site is mainly in Norwegian,
but for our international guests we wish to present a
limited version in English.
At the moment we are only able
to offer access to our databases and the possibility
to download our newsletter Tobias.
Our databases are supported
with English text, and some of our most important
genealogical fonds will be explained with a user's
manual. We hope international visitors take their
time studying these manuals before visiting Oslo.
There may be interesting things to find in the fonds
of The City Archives.
