Indigenous art in Norwegian libraries. DDC and Humord after the launch of the report «Truth and Reconciliation – basis for a settlement with Norwegianization Policy and Injustice against Sámi, Kven/Norwegian Finns and Forest Finns»

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Norway was appointed by the Norwegian parliament in June 2018 and submitted its report to the Norwegian parliament on 1 June 2023. Three duties were set out in the terms of reference: To conduct a historic mapping describing the Norwegian authorities' policies and activities relating to the Sámi and Kven/Finnish Norwegian people locally, regionally and nationally; To examine the repercussions of the Norwegianisation policy today in relation to Sami and Kven/Finnish languages and culture, as well as material, social, health and identity-related repercussions for the groups as a whole and for individuals; and to propose initiatives to contribute to further reconciliation. The report will influence the work of many institutions in Norway for a long time to come. How does such a report affect the daily work in the art library at the National Museum – with a library collection classified according to Dewey and subject guides according to AAT and Humord?
