Literature (pol_litteratur)

Literature here primarily means books or articles written by or about the politician. The information has mostly been obtained through self-reporting by parliamentary representatives on questionnaires. The table therefore contains the most important literary products that the representative has written as well as authorized biographies. To a lesser extent, there are (probably) non-authorized biographies or works where the representative is mentioned. Duplicates cannot be avoided either, as the information comes from several older database tables. Data is taken from these old tables in Polsys:

• Nsd_litteratur – 1912-2014.
• B1905_Litteratur – 1874-1949.

We currently have no data sources that can provide us with an update.
