A group of DLM Forum members stops for refreshment while touring the new Danish National Archives building.

(There is no truth to the rumour that the table in the left foreground was used for a DLM recreation of the Euro 2012 Championship.)

Yes, the stacks at the new Danish National Archive building really are 32 levels high!

(And you lucky volunteers are about to find out how we access them.)

If you think it is scary at the bottom, just wait till you reach the top.

Hello way up there. Sorry, look, our time's up and the DLM Forum meeting is about to start.

See you after lunch. You can find your own way down can't you?

The venue for the DLM Forum meeting was the Danish Royal Library, nicknamed the "Black Diamond".

If you are wondering about the American flag then Hillary Clinton was also visiting Denmark.

(Unfortunately, duties of state prevented Hillary from attending any of the DLM Forum presentations,

despite the prospect of a lively discussion of DoD 5015.2.)

Quiet please, the DLM Forum Members' Meeting is now in session.

Let the tweeting begin!

Thanks to our Danish hosts for a grand meeting.
