Nøtterøy's newest history book was launched tonight, with its own DVD, in Nøtterøy Kulturhus. The book plans were first committed to paper in 2003, but it wasn't until the fall of 2005 that it was unanimously adopted and on January 1 the following year, historian Egil Christophersen was able to begin his deep dive into Nøtterøy's recent cultural history.

Nøtterøy's mayor, complete with chain, and between 150-200 excited islanders had turned up to see the recently completed village book, and to hear the author himself talk about it.

According to Vesterålen Online, Hadsel municipality envies the thorough documentation of family history that Bø municipality has arranged in book form. A farm and family history covering the period 1650 to 1950 is therefore now being planned. The project will be managed by a separate foundation.
