The chief purpose of the institute is to promote and develop local and regional history in Norway. We have our own research projects, and we perform counselling services for external projects. We arrange conferences as well as practical courses, and we take part in The National Library’s publication program. We currently (2020) hold nine permanent positions. | The chief purpose of the institute is to promote and develop local and regional history in Norway.

For the last twelve years, we have promoted production, dissemination and exchange of knowledge through The Local History Wiki. We also canalize parts of our counselling services and some of our projects through the wiki. | For the last twelve years, we have promoted production, dissemination and exchange of knowledge through The Local History Wiki.

The wiki is an arena for co-creation and cooperation. The users may co-write one specific article, or the cooperation may be expanded to a collection of articles, a project and even the whole wiki. Many of our projects have focused on the wiki infrastructure, like entering [[:Kategori:Koordinatfesta artikler|coordinates]] in articles and replacing names of administrative units due to [[Kommunereformen 2014–2018|municipal reforms]]. | The wiki is an arena for co-creation and cooperation.

Ideally, “everyone” should participate as content providers, for the many voices to be represented. Unfortunately, we are not there yet. As part of a research project about our wiki,<ref>Henningsen, Erik og Håkon Larsen: The Joys of Wiki Work: Craftsmanship, Flow and Self-externalization in a Digital Environment. In: Libraries, Archives and Museums as Democratic Spaces in a Digital Age. De Gruyter Saur, 2020. Pages 345–362.</ref> a survey was carried out among all contributors registered by 2018. Out of 740 respondents three quarters were male. Equally, three quarters were aged 51 years or older, and more than 80 percent held a university degree (not only in history). | Ideally, “everyone” should participate as content providers, for the many voices to be represented.

In addition to our own staff, the institute is fortunate to have a corpse of administrators who work voluntarily, outside the institute’s working hours. This gives us an assurance that there is always someone on the watch – both to follow up users who need help and to prevent vandalism. | In addition to our own staff, the institute is fortunate to have a corpse of administrators who work voluntarily, outside the institute’s working hours.
