Use of DataThe Norwegian University of Life Sciences (Norges miljø- og biovitenskapelige universitet, NMBU) maintains a university archives at its main campus in Ås, Norway. The archives preserves the institutional records, historical documents, and heritage materials of one of Norway's oldest institutions of higher education.
NMBU traces its origins to 1859, when it was established as the Higher Agricultural College (Den høiere Landbrugsskole) at Ås, making it the second oldest institution of higher education in Norway. It was subsequently renamed the Norwegian College of Agriculture and received university-level status before being formally designated as the Norwegian University of Life Sciences in 2005. In 2014, NMBU merged with the Norwegian School of Veterinary Science (NVH) in Oslo, adopting its current Norwegian name while retaining the English designation.
The university archives holds records documenting the institutional history of NMBU and its predecessor institutions stretching back to 1859. The historic buildings and grounds of the original agricultural college campus in Ås are considered part of Norway's cultural heritage. The archives preserves administrative records, academic records, and materials related to the university's research in environmental sciences, life sciences, veterinary medicine, and related fields. NMBU's open research archive (Brage NMBU) has been superseded by the Norwegian Research Information Repository (NVA), which holds publications from NMBU from 1997 onwards.
The university archives is accessible through NMBU's organizational structures. Researchers can contact the archives for access to historical institutional records. Online research resources including Brage NMBU (read-only) and the NVA repository are accessible via the NMBU library portal.
