Short note on organisation background
The task of the Sweden Finns is to collect and to retain documents and records related to the history and life Finns in Sweden. The Archives also supports the Sweden Finnish culture, researche and education. Some of the material of the Archives, like photographs and life stories, can also be studied in the homepage.
The Archives was founded in 1977. The members are Finnish organisations and companies in Sweden. Individuals can also be members through a network.
The Archives of the Finnish Minority in Sweden cooperates with The Swedish National Archives (Riksarkivet) and with the City Archives of Eskilstuna (Eskilstuna stadsarkiv). Eskilstuna is one of the main cities, in which a large proportion of the population has its roots in Finland.
Today, material concerning the Finns of Sweden can be found especially in the City Archives of Eskilstuna which also is a member of the Archives of The Finnish Minority in Sweden. Photographs, drawings, records, annual reports, posters and recordings are recorded in the City Archives of Eskilstuna. The record of The Finnish Association in Stockholm (Fi.Tukholman Suomalainen Seura) from the year 1894 is the oldest document of the archives.
