The following archives contain data about Norway's political system. In addition to documentation about the various archives, databases and data sets, a number of overviews and tables have been prepared as well as opportunities (data extraction) to search directly in the archives.
The English version of the documentation is (still) not as comprehensive as the Norwegian one. However, all the archives have an abstract in English. In some of the archives we also present tables and overviews prepared by NSD.
Biographical information: education, occupation, political career, etc.
Data on the Norwegian parliament, such as voting and factional data from committee settings. In addition, a smaller data set with Document-8 proposals has been prepared.
The government pages consist of data about all Norwegian governments since the dissolution of Denmark-Norway in 1814.
The party data consist mainly of party manifestos and press releases in text format as well as a dataset where the content of the manifestos is coded.
Archive of Academicians and Archive of Members of Company Boards.
