To locate images of death certificates on the Danish National Archives website, go to [https://www.rigsarkivet.dk/ sa.dk], click on "Søg og bestil (Daisy)," search for the key term "Dødsattester" in the first box (labeled "Arkivskaber eller arkivserie:"), and input a year range. Be sure there are no extra spaces after the search terms. Then click on the green button to [https://www.sa.dk/daisy/arkivskaber_eller_arkivserie_liste?c=D%C3%B8dsattester&a=&b=&d=1&e=2022 search in Daisy] (the Danish National Archives website catalog). Scroll down to a doctor's district of interest and click on a hyperlinked result in the "Arkivserie" column. If any of the records have already been digitized on the website, there will be a green "Læs arkivaliet" button; click on that button to browse the images digitally. (If only a green "Vis indhold" button is showing, the records are not yet digitized and can be sent to the reading room for browsing in-person.)
The death certificates are organized by year and month; within each month, the records are in no discernable order. Locate an image with just the year and month of interest on it, and then browse page by page within that month until the correct record has been found.
