Abstract: The Link-Lives project, which is a cross-disciplinary research project, will take the difficult and time-consuming task of combining information from diverse archival sources relating to any given person, to build life-courses and family relations from 1787 to the present and make them freely and easily available. This will, on the one hand, expand the scope of registry-based research from decades to centuries and open up new avenues for intergenerational research in the health and social sciences and, on the other hand, ease the access to some of Denmark's digital treasures to the average citizen. It is a collaboration of the Danish National Archives, the Copenhagen City Archives and the University of Copenhagen. It is funded through two grants by the Innovation Fund Denmark, the Carlsberg Foundation and two small grants by the Ministry of Culture.
