We were glad to welcome Paris Liljestrand, Sweden's Minister of Culture Parisa Liljestrand, to our archives today. We talked about the work we do, both client assignments as well as research and educational activities – and of course we showed a selection of archival materials deposited with us. And above all, we talked about Sweden's business history as part of our cultural heritage. To that affect, we showed some key artefacts from the archives we manage. Among them were the Saltsjöbaden Agreement (now part of the cultural canon), Karin Boye's original manuscript of Kallocain (also cultural canon), Ericsson's first ledger from 1876, and H&M's special collections (which probably should be cultural canon both).
– The Centre for Business History is doing important work preserving and telling the story of Swedish business history. It was especially fun to see how the Saltsjöbaden Agreement has been preserved, which is one of the works in Sweden's new cultural canon, said Minister of Culture Parisa Liljestrand.
Present on the visit were Kristina Axén Olin (Member of Parliament, member on the Parliament's Committee on Cultural Affairs), Irene Strömmer (Chief of Staff), and Lukas Zeiler (press assistant).
