About 1001 & conditions of use

Welcome to "1001 stories about Denmark" - Danish Agency for Culture's website about Danish cultural heritage. Here you can read about cultural heritage and share your knowledge of Danish heritage and places with others.

  

There are stories from all over Denmark - from the Iron Age settlement "Sorte Muld" (“black soil”) on the island of Bornholm, to the Black Horse Cavern in the Copenhagen borough of Vesterbro. From the island of Christiansø in the East of Denmark to the chemical factory Cheminova in the West. From Broendums Hotel in the North by Skagen to the burial mound Baunehøj at Lolland in the South of Denmark.

Contribute and share
The website is user driven so everyone can contribute with comments, photos and stories and recommendations and you can place new dots on the map if you think we're missing something, or if you have an interesting story about a place.

The stories are written by 180 of the country's foremost experts on cultural heritage and history, but we need you to develop the site. There are already many new places added to the 1001 stories we started out with.

Terms of use and contributions to the site  - sharing is caring
You can comment on existing stories, share links, videos and audio. If you create a profile, you can also add new stories to the places that already exist. Or, you can create new sites if you think something is missing.

When you contribute, you must provide your real name and email. We do not accept anonymous contributions, and we reserve the right to delete messages from anonymous users.

You have the option to create a profile. If you create a profile you can avoid typing in your information every time you contribute to the site. When you create a profile, you must write your real, full name. Not an institution, a municipality, an event, or the like.

You have the choice between a public or private profile. If you create a public profile, your profile page is visible to all users. If you create a private profile, you get access to a personal page that's only visible by you.

The age limit for contributing to the site and create a profile is 13 years.

Debate culture - be nice

Danish Agency for Culture continuously monitors that guidelines are respected, and content that violates the guidelines will be deleted. Furthermore the Agency reserves the right to remove contributions that are unfactual, erroneous or offensive, or otherwise unsuitable.

About describing places
When you add a new site to 1001stories it works somewhat like a wiki meaning that other users can edit your text and make changes to it. Therefore, you must be aware that your text may be changed, just as you have the ability to change others' descriptions.

The 1001 original expert stories/narratives and the 50 theme texts cannot be altered og changed but you can comment on them.

Image and video contributions
The criterias for adding pictures or videos to 1001stories.dk are that the images or videos are relevant to the story / site and can be used constructively to a story or a place into perspective.  You are responsible for the entire content of your contribution, that your contribution does not violate others - that it is not insulting, racist, pornographic, criminal or otherwise violates the rights of others
