Founding of the Society
Year
Authority / Notes
1857

According to its website (), the association was founded on 1857, September 1.

We face a small conundrum. Catalogue records in both the Zeitschriftendatenbank and the Royal Danish Lib. cat. list the following journal publication: Ugeskrift for laeger and indicate that its corporate author is Almindelige Danske Laegeforening, and that the journal had a starting publication date of 1839 - namely 18 years prior to the founding of the Almindelige Danske Laegeforening. One possible interpretation of this situation is that the journal in question began publication in 1837 by some entity other than the Almindelige Danske Laegeforening - but was brought under the wing of the later at some point after the founding of the association.

Calatogue records suggest that the association was founded as Den Almindelige Danske Laegeforening = Den Almindelige Danske Lægeforenin and has retained this name to the present day. The English name Danish Medical Association also appears in catalogue records.

Ugeskrift for laeger : journal of the Danish Medical Association

The corporate publisher is given as Den Almindelige Danske Laegeforening.

We face a small conundrum. Catalogue records in both the Zeitschriftendatenbank and the Royal Danish Lib. cat. list the following journal publication: Ugeskrift for laeger and indicate that its corporate author is Almindelige Danske Laegeforening, and that the journal had a starting publication date of 1839 - namely 18 years prior to the founding of the Almindelige Danske Laegeforening. One possible interpretation of this situation is that the journal in question began publication in 1837 by some entity other than the Almindelige Danske Laegeforening - but was brought under the wing of the later at some point after the founding of the association.

Lægeforeningens årbog. Afd. 1, Lommebog = Laegeforeningens årbog. Afd. 1, Lommebog.

The record in the Royal Danish Lib. cat. identifies this title as a publication of Den Almindelige Danske Lægeforening. It also notes the following variant title: Lægeforeningens lommebog.

Various records in the Royal Danish Lib. cat. indicate that this is a continuation of the following sequence of titles, but do not make it clear that they were publications of Den Almindelige Danske Lægeforening:

  • Nordisk Lommebog for Læger for 3. Aarg. (1884)-31. Aarg. (1912)
  • Lomme-Dagbog for Læger for 1. Aarg. (1882)-2. Aarg. (1883)

The Royal Danish Lib. cat. also says that this title was continued by Lægeforeningens medicinfortegnelse for 1963-1969: 1-4. The history after this point is even more complex.

Lægeforeningens årbog. Afd. 2, Medicinsk vejviser.

As with Afd.1, the records in the Royal Danish Lib. cat. indicate that this is a continuation of the following sequence of titles, but do not make it clear that they were publications of Den Almindelige Danske Lægeforening:

  • Nordisk Lommebog for Læger for 3. Aarg. (1884)-31. Aarg. (1912)
  • Lomme-Dagbog for Læger for 1. Aarg. (1882)-2. Aarg. (1883)

The Royal Danish Lib. cat. also says that this title was continued by Lægeforeningens vejviser for 1965-1971. The history after this point is even more complex.

And then the title changed to Danish medical journal : DMJ for 59.2012 - which was also published by the Danish Medical Association.
