DDA - Method & Data:

The Danish National Archives have a departmant for preserving digital archives for the future

"In Danish Data Archives we do not design survey questionnaires. However, we work a lot with survey data. In particular much time is spent on processing the data which researchers and data collectors have deposited with the Danish Data Archives. The purpose of processing is to document the data according to the guidelines of Danish Data Archives and to secure durability of data in system independent formats.

The data processing procedures, as applied in the Danish Data Archives, are described in the second article 'Data Preservation - Data processing in Danish Data Archives' by Anne Sofie Fink Kjeldgaard et al. Conducting data analyses and processing social science data is one of two main activities in the Danish Data Archives. "

Danish State Archives

Search your ancestors: "The Danish Demographic database is the obvious choice if you want to search for your ancestors on the Internet via the Danish State Archives.

You may search in a number of different sources within the Danish Demographic Database. In order to obtain a positive result, you will need some basic information to use as search criteria. Furthermore, it is an obvious requirement that data on the persons searched for have been entered. Several of the databases are being created by volunteers and are not yet complete.

Parish registers on the Internet

On a test basis, even scanned parish registers may be found on the Internet. They contain pages from parish registers published on CD-ROMs by the State Archives Filming Centre. More old parish registers and census lists will be scanned over the next years, so that eventually they will all be available on the World Wide Web.

The search page is in Danish and requires a tiff plug-in. You may search for parishes, ceremonies and years between 1814 and 1891. Danish search page "Statens Arkivers kirkebøger på Internettet
