==History==
'''Universitetsforlaget AS''' ("The University Press") is a [[Norway|Norwegian]] academic [[publishing company]], which publishes non-fiction literature and journals. Universitetsforlaget is the main [[Academic publishing|academic press]] in Norway, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of [[Aschehoug]]. It is not merely an [[imprint]], but organised as an independent company.


The publishing house in its current form was established in 2000, and has two different origins: One is [[Universitetsforlaget (1950-1999)|Universitetsforlaget]], founded by [[Tønnes Andenæs]] in 1950. The second origin comes from 1982, when [[Aschehoug]] took over the publishing house [[Tanum-Norli]], which then became a publisher of textbooks and schoolbooks named [[Tano (publisher)|Tano]]. In 2000, Tano and some subdivisions of Universitetsforlaget merged. Today, the publisher is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aschehoug.
