Resumé
Der er i dag stigende fokus på borgeres individuelle rettigheder. Arkivloven giver borgere gratis adgang til at se oplysninger om dem selv i arkiverne (records). I praksis anerkendes i højere grad de personer, som beskrives i arkivalierne, og deres behov for at forstå, hvordan myndigheder har grebet ind i deres liv—særligt i sager om personer, der tidligere har været anbragt. Specialet undersøger de danske rammer for, hvilke rettigheder disse arkivsubjekter har til egne records. Med udgangspunkt i modellen 'the participant relationship'—der ser på forholdet mellem personer omtalt i records og de institutioner, der skaber dem—vurderer specialet også potentialet for at udvide rettighederne i dansk arkivpraksis.
There is a growing focus on individual rights today. The Danish Archives Act gives people free access to information about themselves held in archives (records). In practice, there is increasing recognition of the individuals described in archival records and their need to understand how authorities have intervened in their lives—especially in cases involving people who were previously placed in care. This thesis examines the Danish framework for the rights of archival subjects to their own records. Using the 'participant relationship' model—an approach that looks at the relationship between people named in records and the institutions that create them—the thesis also assesses the potential to expand these rights in Danish archival practice.
