Welcome to the Nordic Society of Campanology and Carillon
NSCK (NSCC) unites people and organizations with an interest in carillon, bell ringing and church bells in the Nordic countries. Our purpose is to work for an increased interest in bells, ringing and carillon as well as to support campanological research. NSCK represents the World Carillon Federation (WCF) in the Nordic region. The association publishes the journal Acta Campanologica twice a year. Volumes and articles are listed under the menu Acta Campanologica, most of them with abstracts in English.

NSCK’s history
The association Nordic Society for Campanology was founded in 1966 with Aksel Andersen, Bernt C. Lange, Gösta Bergholtz, Hans Nyholm, Ole Chr. Olsen Nauen and L.M. Holmbäck as representatives in the Nordic Bell Committee. Since then, the association was merged with the Danish carillon players' guild and took the name Nordisk selskap for campanologi og klokkespill (Nordic Society for Campanology and Carillon).
