The 1801, 1865, 1875 and 1900 censuses for Norway have been digitized and standardized with encoding systems based on categories employed by Statistics Norway for the contemporary or later aggregates. When incorporating this material into internationally comparative standards within the framework of the NAPP project, a number of supplementary codes had to be implemented, for instance an international version for the coding of birthplaces and a contextualized version of the HISCO system for coding occupations. The paper will discuss experiences relating to how this translation process can be done in a rational way.
