Short note on organisation background
The task of The Archives of the Sweden Finns is to collect and to retain documents and records related to the history and life of Finns in Sweden. The Archives also supports the Sweden Finnish culture, research 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 and the members for the Archives are Sweden Finns organisations and companies in Sweden. Also individuals can 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.
