Norgeshistorie

Norgeshistorie is an educational history website developed by the University of Oslo, through its Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History. Its purpose is to make Norway’s past accessible through expert-led content, presenting the country’s history from the Stone Age to the present day. The site organizes its material across a detailed timeline, covering periods from the earliest settlements and prehistoric eras through the Viking Age, the Middle Ages, nation-building, industrialization, the world wars, and modern Norway.

Visitors can explore articles, historical sources, teaching resources, and a podcast, as well as themed features and current topics. These materials support both independent learning and classroom use, helping readers study the past through written accounts and historical evidence. The site offers a structured way to navigate major events and long-term changes in Norwegian society, politics, and culture. Norgeshistorie is an academic information and learning resource rather than a commercial brand, with content presented in Norwegian and an English-language website also available.
