Abstract: This section deals with databases constructed and used for producing the particular Norwegian genre of local history; the farm- and genealogical history. This is a sub-category of the main genre «bygdebok» or community history which is complemented with ordinary local history overviews. There exist a number of such databases in Norway. They contain in principle basic, time-stamped information about all existing or deserted dwellings (farms, cottar’s places, modern houses and even apartment buildings) and all people that have lived in the geographic area covered and relations between people grouped into families or ancestries and between these people and their dwellings. However, the database designs and models vary quite a bit.
