The Regional State Archives in Kristiansand (Norwegian: Statsarkivet i Kristiansand) is a regional state archives situated in Kristiansand, Norway. Part of the National Archival Services of Norway, it is responsible for archiving documents from state institutions in the counties of Aust-Agder and Vest-Agder. The collection includes ten shelf-kilometers of material from the 16th century to the 1990s. The archives have been at their current site since 1997, premises which are shared with the Intermunicipal Archives of Vest-Agder.[1] The archives were established in 1934, taking over documents covering Agder from the Regional State Archives in Oslo.[2]
