Regesta Norvegica is a chronological inventory of all known documents relating to the history of Norway during the Middle Ages. The series contains summaries in modern Norwegian of medieval documents concerning Norway and Norwegian affairs.
Gustav Storm first published Regesta Norvegica in 1898. It contained 630 texts, and covered the years 991–1263.
In 1966, work began on a new edition. A committee was established and responsibility for the first volumes was given to the Norwegian universities. Later, for volumes VI and onwards, the responsibility was transferred to Norsk Historisk Kjeldeskriftinstitutt. In 1991 this institute was integrated as a separate department of the National Archives of Norway (Riksarkivet).
So far nine volumes are published, covering the years 822–1419.
Two further volumes are in progress: Part X (1420–1430) and XI (1431–1440). The series is expected to cover the whole medieval period of norwegian history.
Volumes I–IX of Regesta Norvegica are digitized and freely accessible, created in cooperation between the National Archives of Norway and Enhet for Digital Dokumentasjon (former Dokumentasjonsprosjektet), University of Oslo.
