Archives and Libraries

Archives collect and preserve original documents of organizations such as churches or governments. Libraries generally collect published sources such as books, maps, and microfilm.
If you plan to visit a repository, contact them and ask for information about their collection, hours, services, and fees. Ask if they require you to have a reader’s ticket (a paper indicating you are a responsible researcher) to view the records, and ask how to obtain one.
Although the records you need may be in an archive or library, the FamilySearch Library may have microfilmed and/or digitized copies of them.

History

Norwegian control of the Faroes continued until 1814. When the union between Denmark and Norway was dissolved as a result of the Treaty of Kiel in 1814, Denmark retained possession of the Faroe Islands. In 1816, the Faroe Islands became a county within the Danish Kingdom. Denmark granted the Faroe Islands home-rule with a high degree of local autonomy in 1948. In 1990, Danish archives for the Faroe Islands (with the exception of military archives) were handed over to the Faroe Islands National Archives.
