Guided Tour: Originals, Drifters and Lost Souls. Marginalised Fates in Copenhagen over 200 Years — Københavns Stadsarkiv, Copenhagen

In the archive basement beneath City Hall lies the city's memory - not just official history, but also documents about the destitute and socially excluded.

On this guided tour, we descend into the basement, normally closed to the public, and hear stories about drunks, originals and lost souls from 19th and 20th century Copenhagen. We encounter them on the streets and in the city's harsh institutions.

The tour is led by archivist and ethnologist Anders Møller.
