Start at NobelPrize.org, the official Nobel Prize website. Use its award and laureate records for authoritative facts, then browse the relevant category’s lecture archive or the site’s interview and conversation collections. Search by a laureate’s name, prize category, or award year, and check each entry’s format: it may be a text, video, podcast, or conversation rather than a conventional lecture.

Start with NobelPrize.org for official award information

The site’s Nobel Prize overview explains the six categories—physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, peace, and economic sciences—and the annual announcement and ceremony cycle. The official Nobel Prize facts page gives cumulative totals. The overview and facts page report 633 awards and 1,026 people and organisations for 1901–2025, based on Nobel Prize Outreach’s 2025 data; treat these as totals through 2025, not as permanently current figures.

For a particular winner, open the individual laureate record. It can provide biographical facts, the prize motivation, and links to related material such as a lecture. Aage N. Bohr’s official record illustrates this kind of page.

Find a Nobel Prize lecture by category, laureate, or year

Browse the lecture archive for the relevant category. The official site has year-organised archive pages, including for literature, physiology or medicine, peace, and economic sciences. Within an archive, narrow your search using the laureate’s name or award year. Useful search phrases include “Nobel Prize lecture,” “prize lecture,” the person’s name, the category, and the year.

The Remains of the Day: Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
  • Author: Ishiguro, Kazuo.
  • Publisher: Vintage International
  • Pages: 245
  • Publication Date: 1990-09-12
  • Edition: First Edition

Check the individual entry rather than assuming every winner has the same kind of recording. The site may label related material “Nobel Prize lecture,” “prize lecture,” or “acceptance speech.” At least one literature entry uses a pre-recorded video conversation in place of a conventional lecture.

When lectures are given

The official category archive pages reproduce the Nobel Foundation statutes’ requirement for a laureate “to give a lecture on a subject connected with the work for which the prize has been awarded.” The lecture should be given before or no later than six months after the award ceremony. That timing is tied to the ceremony, which takes place on 10 December.

Find laureate interviews and conversations

For podcast-style conversations, visit Nobel Prize Conversations, which lists episodes by year and laureate. For video, use the official physiology or medicine video-interview archive as an example of the site’s category-specific collections. Search by the laureate’s name or category, and confirm the format and speaker on the entry itself.

Find ceremony information separately from lectures

If you want the award presentation rather than a laureate’s lecture, use the ceremony archive. It covers the annual events on 10 December: the Peace Prize ceremony is held in Oslo, while the other prize ceremonies take place in Stockholm. The ceremony archive and the category lecture archives serve different purposes, so choose based on whether you need the presentation or the laureate’s related talk.

Check the format and reuse terms before sharing material

  • Text: Look for a transcript or written lecture on the individual entry.
  • Video: Check whether the item is a lecture, an interview, or a conversation; these are not interchangeable formats.
  • Podcast or conversation: Use the episode listing to confirm the laureate and year.

The Nobel Prize site does not establish that every historic lecture or interview is online, complete, or available in every format. Verify the specific laureate and year page before relying on an item. If you plan to republish text, images, audio, or video, consult NobelPrize.org’s copyright and reuse terms. Nobel Prize Outreach says most site material is protected by copyright and related rights or trademarks; its terms allow strictly editorial, educational, and fair use of most material with credits, a copyright notice, and source, while commercial use generally requires written permission unless an exception applies. Check the terms for the exact asset.
