Imagine being able to work with everything that has been published in Denmark since the 16th century. All books, magazines and newspapers, medieval manuscripts, Danish websites, all TV and radio. And also author archives, folk tales, and foreign treasures. All knowledge and sources for a wide field of cultural history topics. It is all part of the library's enormous cultural heritage collections, and no matter what your current project is, the collections are at your disposal. They are just waiting for you to bring them into play in new research or dissemination.
