Archives and Libraries

Indexes, Catalogs, Inventories, Printed or Manuscript Finding Aids

These are prepared finding aids that make genealogical material more usable. The timer period they cover varies and depends on the material being indexed. They consist mostly of reference entries that provide more ready access to records. Sometimes contain record extracts.

These may be found in libraries, archives, and other record repositories in the Faeroe Islands and in Denmark, especially the Faeroe National Archives [Føroya Landsskjalasavn] in Tórshavn, Faeroe Islands and in the National Archives [Rigsarkivet] of Denmark in Copenhagen.
