How to view the Norwegian census images

I know how to search the digitalarkivet.no for the extracted census records. But is there a way to link to the specific original image? There are links on the the bottom right of the web page, but that takes me to the first page of the census record. What information is needed to get to the actual page for a particular ancestor? Thank you.

I have not learned any direct link to the scanned image but there is information on the extracted page to help locate the scanned image. I'll use an example of my Grandfather Nils Gundersen from Åmli with his father Gunder Jensen - 1900 Census

https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/person/pf01037206001294

 

At the top it shows me the record is in Census District 1 and it's Family 23 - Lien

Down lower at the right it shows me Family 23 Lien is Gard 30 Bruk 1

 

So I click on the Content Link - Then choose District 1 (Page 18 in this case)

I get a title page for the district - advance one page and it happens the 1900 census had an index page. Here I see that #23 is 30-1 - Lien - Gunder Jensen

 

Now again from the Content Page choose the Personlister (43 here)

I just use the Page "slider" at the top to jump in somewhere...

I know I want Family 23 in District (Tællingskreds) 1 so slide back and forth intil I get close then page by page to find...

Each census is a bit different but all are do-able.

There are the same Permanent ID and QuickLinks available as for the church book images.

In DigitalArkivet, each census has a slightly different way of finding the actual scanned image. Some censuses like the 1891 census are easy to navigate to the scanned image if you know how. Others are not so easy even if you do know how. The only website I am aware of that has Norwegian census searchable databases connected to the actual images is Ancestry. On Ancestry, the 1801, 1865, 1891, and 1900 censuses are all searchable and connected to the actual image. However, the images are only accessible with the full paid version of Ancestry.
