The DKB Project ensures that scanned scores from the Royal Danish Library (Det Kgl. Bibliotek, formerly known on IMSLP as "DKB") are uploaded to IMSLP.
Background: Until 2014, this was organized through regularly updated lists on this page, tracking which of the library's scanned scores had already been uploaded to IMSLP and which were still missing. No upload lists have been added since 2014, leaving a gap of more than a decade.
Revival (2026): The project has been revived with two objectives:
The lists below (see Upload log by year) serve as the working records for both goals: they document what has been uploaded, what still needs review, and what has not yet been started.
29 September 2026: The DKB Project has reopened for contributions. 🎉
After a ten-year pause (2014–2025), the project resumes with updated workflows and documentation. The upload log for January–August 2026 is now available for review. Ready to contribute? Browse the upload logs and select your first scan! 📚🎵
Contributions consist of uploading scans from the Royal Danish Library to IMSLP. To participate:

Lists for 2015–2025 will be compiled retrospectively, based on the DKB uploads of those years.
Historical note: From 2007 to 2012, additions were tracked via the bimonthly "e-Noder" newsletter (hence the irregular year boundaries: December to November). DKB abandoned this method in May 2012; from August 2012, a new tracking method was used, based on filtering of records via the catalogue. The yearly logs retain this historical segmentation for consistency.
The lists of themed scans previously linked below were moved to the separate page DKB Project — Themed lists for reference. These lists were originally compiled from the website of Det Kgl. Bibliotek. Following a relaunch of the library's website in 2021/2022, the original pages no longer exist there; the links therefore point to archived copies on archive.org.
As the project will focus on the yearly lists going forward — and because of the overlap between the yearly lists and these themed lists — the themed lists are no longer maintained within this project. They remain freely usable for reference and for uploads.
