Strinda
Historical Society
Strinda
Historical Society was founded in 1996. We have approximately
380 members. Our
activities are conducted by a board consisting of 5 members. We arrange 5-6
meetings every year, presenting different historical topics. Every summer we
arrange a daytrip for our members. Our meetings are open to everyone.
Our main task
is to collect historical information and local history; we collect old pictures,
publications, and stories. The main object is to present this information to
members and the local population. A yearbook is published with different
historical articles from Strinda district.
The district
of Strinda
Strinda is now a suburb of Trondheim, the third largest city in Norway. Until
1964, Strinda was a local community and a rural district surrounding the city of
Trondheim.
