Great news—search and facsimiles are finally back in HISe!
We’ve upgraded the technical solution behind the edition, so while everything may look the same on the surface, a lot has improved behind the scenes. You can once again search through Henrik Ibsen’s texts and explore facsimiles of manuscripts and editions.
Not all facsimiles have been added yet, but they will be made available gradually in the coming period. If you’re missing something, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to help!
