A large grant arrived in 1857 allowing him to conduct research within Rome. He resided there from 1859 until 1861 to examine papal records and became one of the first non-Catholics permitted inside the Vatican archives.
His first major achievement involved collaboration with Rudolph Keyser on three volumes of Norges Gamle Love. They edited these Norway's old laws after spending two years researching in Copenhagen.
Munch translated the third Chronicle of the Chronicles of Mann from a specific Codex. That manuscript was transferred to the British Museum where it remains today.
He died from a stroke while returning to Rome to fetch his family. He was buried at the Protestant Cemetery in Rome after his death on the 25th of May 1863.
