The National Library is the premier source of information about Norway, Norwegians and Norwegian culture, and it aims to be Norway's main resource for the collection, archiving and distribution of Norwegian media.

Its functions include establishing, preserving and making available a wide variety of collections.
The National Library owns and manages a wide variety of collections, of which several are unique. All collections are available for research and documentation, and most are accessible to the public through the National Library's general library services or via the internet.

In cooperation with the Preus Museum, the library is extending its Index of Photographers and Collections.
