Research at Royal Danish Library

Research is one of Royal Danish Library's core tasks. With research, we boost the library's daily work and task solution. This is especially important in relation to the compilation, registration, preservation and availability, as well as communication of the library's national collections.

Among other things, we conduct research on the development of the Danish part of the Internet, the use of maps throughout history as well as artificial intelligence for use in the preservation of cultural heritage.

When we do research based on the collections, we also make them more accessible to the country's universities and other research and knowledge institutions. It allows us to create close collaborations across the country and the various institutions.

The communication and development activities that we carry out in connection with our research also help to support the library's function as Denmark's national library.

Research committee

Our research committee coordinates and develops the library's research. If you have questions regarding the committee's work or our research, you are welcome to contact the research committee.

Strategy for research

• We want to be an attractive collaboration partner
• We want to shine a light on the potential of the collections
• We want to improve the public debate
