Government secretariats

Ministries
Ministries are here mentioned according to rank of 30 November 1814, then according to age. Note that where a ministry changes name, it is not given that all fields of responsibility are taken over by the ministry carrying on the name or parts of the name. For details on this we refer to the chapters “The Council of Government/the Council of State after the dissolution of the Danish-Norwegian realm 1814”, “The Council of State during the union with Sweden 1814-1905” and “The Council of State during and after the dissolution of the union with Sweden 1905”.

Alphabetical list of abolished ministries and secretariats
1945 -

This is a more precise list for the period since 1945, in particular when it comes to the tracing of ministerial archives. “Established” and “abolished” are used irrespective of in which way the ministry is a continuation of the work of another ministry or other ministries, and irrespective of whether the ministry’s field of responsibility is taken over by another ministry or other ministries, whether the ministry is merged with another ministry, or whether the ministry continues under another name.
