Markeds- og brukerundersøkelse. Oppdragsgiver: Opplandsarkivet, avdeling Maihaugen med støtte av Norsk kulturråd Prosjektleder: Birgitta Ericsson Referat: En grunnleggende undersøkelse om Opplandsarkivet avd. Maihaugen (OAM), dets gjennomslagskraft og brukere. Etter 30 års drift, en fortsatt ung institusjon, har OAM oppnådd en betydelig forankring i sitt nedslags- felt, de seks kommunene i Lillehammerregionene og Midt-Gudbrands- dalen. Av hele den voksne befolkningen i regionen er det hele 27% som kjenner til OAM, langt større andeler enn de to andre regionale arkivene, fylkesarkivet i Oppland (8%) og Statsarkivet på Hamar (7%). I denne arkivinteresserte delen av befolkningen er det identifisert ytterligere tre undergrupper (arkivbyggerne, det bevisste publikum og det tilfeldige publikum). Kunnskap om disse er viktig for OAMs kommunika- sjon med gruppene, da deres motiver for å bruke/følge OAM vil være forskjellige. Ett interessant funn er at de mest aktive og bevisste brukerne/følgerne er høyt utdannet, jobber i akademiske yrker og er aktive i samfunnslivet generelt i langt større grad enn den jevne befolkningen.

The Roman Catholic religion was the church of Norway for 600 years, from 900 to 1537. PHOTO: VIKING SHIP: Viking Ship Museum at Bygdøy, Oslo. Photo by Nancy Pickering, Jun 2016. 1 3. INTRODUCTION (continued) In 1021 Olav Haraldsson went through Gudbrandsdalen converting people to Christianity, including chieftain Dale Gudbrands at Hundrop. PHOTO: MARKER: By Les Floeter, 2005 4. INTRODUCTION (continued) Following Olav’s death in 1030, King Olav was declared a Saint. Pilgrims came through the valley to Trondheim, the site of the St. Olav shrine. Today, with renewed interest in ‘The Pilgrim’s Way,’ signs dot the landscape, often at Gudbrandsdal churches along the way. IMAGE: Image shows the symbol used on signs and markers to indicate “The Pilgrim’s Way.” 2 5. INTRODUCTION (continued) In the 12th–13th Century about 1000 stave churches were built in Norway; 28 remain today, three of which are in Gud- brandsdal.

INTRODUCTION (continued) The Lutheran Reformation was adopted in 1537 and King Christian III of Denmark–Norway laid the foundation for the state church system. In 2012 the Church of Norway was granted more autonomy, and a new law took effect on 1 January 2017 which established the Church of Norway as an independent legal entity, although the church remains state funded.
