==Project Background==
The HULA or (Historisk Utvandring til Latin-Amerika|Historical Emigration to Latin America) database began in 2011 when the Humanities faculty at the University of Oslo received funds to study Norwegian migration to Latin America. The primary goal as stated on the University of Oslo website was:

*"The project aims to produce new knowledge about emigration to Latin America that will be pertinent for greater comparative perspective and that can serve as a model for studies of other migrant groups. The central research question revolves around demographic and cultural relationship: the emigrants' social background, their geographic mobility to, in, and from Latin America, their identity, their representation of home and receiving country, their political perspectives and economic activities."

The project culminated with the publishing of the book ''Expectations Unfulfilled: Norwegian Migrants in Latin America, 1820 -1940'' in 2015 which is available online as a free e-book at [https://brill.com/view/title/32126 brill.com].
