The Danish Science Festival

Experience Royal Danish Library's DR-arkivet at Aarhus University during the Danish Science Festival 2026, and delve into historical radio and television programmes from 1950 to the present day.

Kvindelig medarbejder ved DR's Giro 413 med breve og plader — Giro 413 is, at 75 years old, one of Denmark's oldest radio programmes. Listeners can request music, send greetings, and at the same time support charity. In the 1950s and 60s, the programme became a regular Sunday tradition for many. Here, an employee is seen leafing through gramophone records and letters from faithful listeners. The programme is just one of many you can listen to in Royal Danish Library's DR-arkiv.

Royal Danish Library participates when Aarhus University opens its doors to the Danish Science Festival 2026 – a nationwide science festival which creates meeting places between researchers and citizens.

This year, Royal Danish Library presents its DR-arkiv in the Mogens Zieler Room at Aarhus University, where you can delve into millions of radio and TV programmes from 1950-2024. What news did the TV news offer today 20 years ago? When did we start talking about climate? What did it sound like when DR covered the European Championship in 1992? And do you remember "Tæskeholdet", "Hvaffor en hånd" or "Hjerteflimmer"?

Royal Danish Library's DR-arkiv is a collection of TV and radio programmes from Danmarks Radio. The Library was tasked with making the archive available under the Media Agreement 2023-2026.

The Danish Science Festival takes place from 17-26 April 2026 at locations throughout the country. Aarhus University will participate on 22 April.
