Tidsarkivet is a digital archive and publishing platform for Norwegian local history. It gathers scattered sources, newspaper clippings, historical photographs, maps, and public records, and turns them into thoroughly sourced, verifiable articles about the places, people, and events of a local community. Rather than a static website, it is a working toolset: examiners for maps, photographs, documents, and sources let you compare a 1930s map with today, read the fine print of a scanned protocol, or search across the National Library, Wikimedia, museums, and local archives in a single query. A youth portal opens the same material to a younger audience through an interactive, map-first approach.
The aim is simple: that local history gets told, and that it gets told with its sources attached, so anyone can check the claims and build further. Tidsarkivet is meant as an accessible platform for the history societies that hold the deepest local knowledge, giving their work a modern home and a wider reach.
