Our supporters

Krigsseilerregisteret is operated by ARKIVET Peace and Human Rights Centre in cooperation with Lillesand Sjømannsforening and other seaman´s associations. When we first began the development of Krigsseilerregisteret, we received financial support from Samlerhuset Norge and contributions from donors from all over Norway. Riksarkivet has opened the archives for our registration work and until autumn of 2023 the IT company Bouvet has developed the website in cooperation with employees at ARKIVET. Since then, Oxidane has been our IT partner.
