Documentation

In the Documentation division, our responsibility is to find and provide data from the Danish National Archives’ collections to the public according to the provisions of the Danish Archives Act and Act on Early Retirement.

Our job is to ensure that applicants are able to access the data they are entitled to as soon as possible while also ensuring all applicable data protection rules are observed.

We handle a number of cases under Article 39(a) and 39(b) of the Danish Archives Act (defined on the basis of a clearly defined positive list) regarding the public’s right of access to their own personal data. We also identify, digitise and provide other supporting contributions to case processing of cases under Article 39(a) and 39(b) of the Danish Archives Act on the right to access one’s own personal data. This work is conducted in close collaboration with the Access division.

We handle cases concerning early retirement in accordance with the rules of the Danish Archives Act and the Early Retirement Act.
