På tide å dokumentere samisk navnetradisjon for fremtidige generasjoner JF - NAMN OG NEMNE JA - NON VL - 39 IS - SE - Artikler DO - UR - https://ojs.novus.no/index.php/NON/article/view/2173 SP - AB - <p>The article discusses the archive history of Sami place names in Norway and gives examples of the collecting and cataloguing of Sami place names. Possible future plans for a Sami name archive in Norway are also discussed. As a consequence of a strict policy of assimilation, the so-called Norwegianization policy, the collect­ing and cataloguing of Sami place names was not defined as a national responsibility when Norway’s Place Name Archive was established in the 1920s. This has remained the case right up to the present day.</p><p>The article shows the need for the establishment of a Sami place name archive in Norway. The question is whether it would be relevant to build up a Sami department as part of the language collections at the University Library in Bergen, or rather, whether it is time for a Sami name archive in collaboration with existing Sami institutions.</p> ER -
