This new database will cost NOK 49 per day or NOK 99 per month to use. This gives access to 1.8 million searchable newspaper pages. Separate solutions are planned to be offered to libraries from the summer.
However, you don't have to pay to search and when Slekt1 took a sneak test yesterday, everything worked brilliantly. Relatives who had been featured in the newspaper almost 100 years ago were quickly «rediscovered». After the search is successful, you will see a small version of the current newspaper page. However, if you want to enlarge the page so that the text is readable, you have to pay.
It's not just old newspapers that are searchable, but this year's newspapers are of course also searchable. Here you can find, for example, obituaries, which perhaps makes this service far more interesting for those of us looking for relatives than Aguiden's personalia ads, which were discussed a few days ago. This will be a great resource for many!
