Later, for volumes VI and onwards, the responsibility was transferred to Norsk Historisk Kjeldeskriftinstitutt. In 1991 this institute was integrated as a separate department of the National Archives of Norway (Riksarkivet). [3] [4]
So far nine volumes are published, covering the years 822–1419. Two further volumes are in progress: Part X (1420–1430) and XI (1431–1440). When completed the series is expected to cover the whole medieval period of Norwegian history.
Volumes I–X of Regesta Norvegica are digitized and freely accessible, created in cooperation between the National Archives of Norway and Enhet for Digital Dokumentasjon (Dokumentasjonsprosjektet), University of Oslo. Dokumentasjonsprosjektet is a collaboration between the humanities at the University of Bergen, University of Oslo, University of Trondheim and University of Tromsø with the aim of using modern computer technology to provide access to collections of languages and culture in Norway. The purpose has been to make universities' collections of language and culture digitally available. [5]
