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. Until 1946, the Faroe Islands were part of Denmark. Denmark finally granted the Faroe Islands home-rule with a high degree of local autonomy in 1948. In 1990, archives of the Faroe Islands (with the exception of military archives) were to be handed over to the Faroe Islands National Archives. | Norwegian control of the Faroes continued until 1814.
