Jerry Paulson, Naeseth Chair for Genealogical Research & Publication at the NAGC & NL, will assist you with your research and be available for personal consultation.

Knowledgeable library staff and volunteers will also be available. Together with all these resources, your genealogical questions will be addressed.
The Salt Lake Plaza Hotel has been chosen for the overnight accommodations because it is located next to the library. This means a very easy short walk between the two facilities.

Testimonials
“I use this (Naeseth) Library for most of my Norwegian research. I have found records from Norway and from some of the first Norwegian churches in Portage/Waupaca Counties that I could not find elsewhere. Most of the materials are in Norwegian, which can cause some frustration if you do not have a basic knowledge of the language. The staff is very knowledgeable and understands the difficulties of researching in a foreign language. I have had many pleasant experiences working with the staff.I have been a member of this organization (NAGC & NL) for a number of years and have participated in the continuing educational opportunities offered. The newsletter, received twice a year, reviews activities of the Center and announces new holdings and classes.If you are looking for Norwegian ancestors, this is an excellent research facility.”
