What do we know about the weather on a particular day in the late 16th century? Not much - not even from our logbooks.

But there is an exception, the defeat of the Spanish Armada on 8 August 1588. With a different circulation pattern, I would probably write this text in Spanish.

Great session (both talks and posters!) on "Climate of the last two millennia" with many interesting discussions. I gave an update on our
@Rigsarkivet - @dmidk project . The logbooks of all Danish ships involved in the Battle of Køge Bay 1677 will be digitised.

Logbøgerne skal transskriberes med hjælp af , og vi søger en dygtig og idérig til projektet.

Finally! These logbooks from the Royal Greenlandic Trading Company (KGH) are the first to be scanned in the project. Adam Jon Kronegh and I estimate this to be roughly 1% of all the documents to be digitized.

KGH had a monopoly on all trade with from 1774 to 1950.

Once they have been scanned, the logbooks return to the National Archive and will not be touched for the remainder of the project.
