+*'''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 [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog '''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.
