Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].

• cache_status

  Report this session's requests, by service, the Digitalarkivet budget, and cache use.

• da_download_page

  Download one scanned page from Digitalarkivet so it can be read. This is the step that turns a hit into evidence. Returns the citation (source, archive reference, image number, permanent link). Census pages (ft… ids) come at full resolution only.

• da_get_record

  Read one transcribed record: its fields, everyone named in it, and its scanned page. `scanned_pages` gives the permanent page id to pass to da_download_page.

• da_get_source

  Describe one source and map its scans: archive reference, images, where each list starts. Sections are the lists in the book (baptisms, confirmations, out-migrated…) with the image each begins on; a list usually runs until the next starts.

• da_list_pages

  List a source's scanned pages in order, with each page's permanent id and permalink. For reading a list nobody transcribed: pass page ids to da_download_page.

• da_search_persons

  Search Digitalarkivet's transcribed records for a person. Covers transcribed church-book entries, censuses (1801-1920), emigrant lists and more. Each hit gives the record's address for da_get_record. Only transcribed lists are searched.

• da_search_sources

  Find sources (church books, censuses, probate records) by place, period and list. Each source says which lists it holds, which are scanned and which are searchable. A list that is scanned but not searchable can still be read page by page with da_get_source and da_list_pages.

• municipalities

  Look up Digitalarkivet's historical municipalities and their numbers. Makes no network call. The da_ tools filter by these (as they stood around 1947), not by today's merged municipalities. Also lists the list-type codes.

• nb_download_page

  Download one page image of a National Library item that is open where you are.

• nb_get_page

  Read one page of a National Library item: its OCR text where it is open, and its citation.

• nb_search

  Search the National Library of Norway's books, newspapers and more. Each item says where it can be read: everywhere, Norway only, or the library only. nb_search_inside finds the page in any of them.

• nb_search_inside

  Find the pages of one book or newspaper that mention a word, with snippets. Works for Norway-only items too: the printed page number tells you what to request from a library even when the page cannot be shown here.

• place_names

  Find farms, hamlets and other places in Kartverket's official place-name register. Gives today's spelling, type (farm, village, lake…), municipality and coordinates. Old spellings in records often differ: try a wildcard or fuzzy.
