Archival material from the administration of the institute
and its departments
This kind of material has to be handed over to the Danish National Archives by
the Danish law of archives. Hence, the Archive only keeps what the
National Archives does not want while the rest is only kept temporarily
(material is handed over every 20-30 years; next time in the summer
of 1999).
It is important to know that the Institute for Mathematical Sciences was established 1 January 1997 by a fusion of the Mathematics Institute (established 1934) and the Institute for Mathematical Statistics (established 1962). The Institute for Mathematical Sciences consists of three departments: Department of Mathematics, Department of Theoretical Statistics, and Department of Operational Research. The archival material has been sorted according to this structure.

Miscellaneous materialThis material is not real archival material, but it is material which is just located in the Archive (it may have connection to archival material, for example be copies of archival material etc). It means that the inventories made be changed when material is added or removed and because of that the homepages are in another color (orange).
