Arkivita

Arkivita is a digital archival platform developed by the National Archives of Norway. Its primary purpose is to manage, preserve, and provide access to digital archival materials. The platform is designed to handle a wide range of digital records, ensuring their long-term integrity and usability. Arkivita supports various digital formats and metadata standards, facilitating the organization and retrieval of vast amounts of information.

The system plays a crucial role in the digital preservation efforts of the Norwegian National Archives.

By providing a secure and standardized environment, Arkivita helps prevent data loss and obsolescence.

Users can interact with Arkivita through different interfaces depending on their role. Researchers and the public can often access publicly available materials through online portals, while archivists utilize the system for internal management and preservation workflows. The platform's development has been an ongoing process, incorporating evolving technological standards and archival best practices. Arkivita represents a significant investment in securing Norway's digital cultural heritage for future generations.
