In Ögonblicket we encounter time images from an almost forgotten reality, the frameworks surrounding people's working lives. This could be the motorcycle courier from NK, whose vehicle runs on wood gas, Skånska Cementgjuteriet which braces sawn-off stone statues when Abu Simbel is being relocated, or Miss Universe 1964 proudly presenting L M Ericsson's new Ericofon, the "cobra".
The magazine Företagsminnen is published by the Centre for Business History with five issues per year. The articles – reports, contributions, presentations of research, and picture specials – provide a broad picture of Swedish business history and the people who have shaped it.
The topics in Företagsminnen and in Ögonblicket reflect the very extensive material from Swedish companies and organizations managed by the archive at the Centre for Business History, one of the world's leading business archives. The collections include not only text sources but also image material, physical objects of significance, and in some cases entire interiors of boardrooms.
