1. Overview
“First discovered by the Norwegians in the 12th century, the islands served as an international whaling base during the 17th and 18th centuries. Norway's sovereignty was recognized in 1920; five years later it officially took over the territory.”
CIA's The World Factbook (2013)5
As a territory of Norway I do not have many specific statistics for this territory in its own right.
There isn't much information in the database for Svalbard, most likely because it is either a part of another country (i.e., a territory or possession) and therefore most international statistics are counted for the country as a whole, or, this is such an exotic place that little data exists about it.
