The Peter Skautrup Centre for Jutlandic Research is a research centre at Aarhus University and the main centre for Jutlandic dialectology in Denmark. It was established in 1932 (under the name Institut for Jysk Sprog- og Kulturforskning), originally privately funded by grants, and headed by professor Peter Skautrup. In 1973 it became part of Aarhus University, and currently it forms part of the Department of Scandinavian Studies and Experience Economy within the School of Communication and Culture. From 1932 to 1978, the center published the journal Sprog og Kultur (“Language and culture”), and from 1982 onwards Ord & Sag (“Word and cause”). The primary work of the center is focused on building the Jysk Ordbog (“Jutlandic Dictionary”), based on 3 million index cards collected since the 1930s and approximately 1050 hours of audio recordings of dialects from all parts of Jutland. Since 2000, it has been published online, but is still not completely finished. The center estimates (in 2018) that there is 30 years of work left.
