Revenue Funded Activities

The Danish National Archives offers a number of paid services.

These services are open to government authorities transferring data to the Danish National Archives as well as private individuals and companies seeking help with identifying specific data in our collections, both digital and on paper.

Revenue Funded Activities also provides services to users who, for various reasons, cannot or do not wish to prepare archive versions or search for data on their own, or who require more help than we are able to provide through our standard support.

We help public authorities transfer records and data to the Danish National Archives. This includes the preparation of archives as well as consulting services.

We perform archival research, documentation work and data searches for the general public, companies and public authorities. We provide consulting services on how to describe and carry out major documentation undertakings, including the preparation of research datasets.

In collaboration with other divisions in the Danish National Archives, we help researchers and research projects find, scan and systematise information and documentation that exists within the Danish National Archives’ collections of paper archival records and digitally created data.

In collaboration with the Danish National Archives’ Digitisation division, we photograph and scan paper records from the Danish National Archives’ collections.

We offer consultation support on matters related to archiving, most frequently record-keeping assignments for older archives where the archive owner has lost their overview of the archive, but also cleaning up archives, which includes implementing Circulars: Appraisal and selection.

In addition, we provide assistance in connection with damaged records eligible for preservation, cleaning (and in many cases, digitising and preparing) such records for submission as submission information package.
