1860-1938

Correspondence with T.C. Blegen & J. Jørgen Thompson, 1935-1952, and 2 scrapbooks containing clippings from Hardanger, Tidsskriftof. He was a compiler, collector, and researcher among Norwegians in America who returned to Norway in 1912. The scrapbooks contain a newspaper serial, "Haringer i Amerika gjennom 100 år" (1935-1938), which gives a detailed account of Norwegian Americans from Hardanger. Knutsen collected thousands of clippings, conducted an extensive correspondence, and interviewed emigrants home on visits. He gave one of his scrapbooks to the University of Oslo library.
