Abstract
The Danish Folklore Archives, Dansk Folkemindesamling, is an institution of the Danish Government and is operated under the jurisdiction of the Danish Ministry of Culture. It was established in 1904 to continue the folklore collection and research carried on in the nineteenth century. Since that time the Danish Folklore Archives has been the central institute in Denmark for folksong and ethnomusicological research.
