Pronouncing Our Name
The Gjenvick-Gjønvik Archives name is Norwegian. The English version "Gjenvick" is pronounced with a silent "G" as in "Jenvick". The Gjønvik is the original Norwegian spelling and is sound similar to "Yawn Vik" in pronunciation. Because Gjenvick-Gjønvik is so difficult for most to spell or pronounce, we have fully embraced our moniker of GG Archives.
Did You Know?
