Norsk biografisk leksikon
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2016) |
Norsk biografisk leksikon is the largest Norwegian biographical encyclopedia. It is also known as the Great Norwegian Encyclopedia.
The first edition (NBL1) was issued between 1921 and 1983;[1] it included 19 volumes and 5,100 articles.
The project had economic support from the Fritt Ord Foundation and the Ministry of Culture, and the second edition (NBL2) was launched in the years 1999–2005, including 10 volumes and around 5,700 articles.[2] In 2009 an Internet edition, with free access, was released by Kunnskapsforlaget together with the general-purpose Store norske leksikon. The electronic edition features additional biographies, and updates about dates of death of biographies. Apart from that, the vast body of text is unaltered from the printed version.[2]
