We manage physical and digital materials from over 300 companies and organizations. Here is the list of archives we take manage. The depositor owns their material, we just manage them. If you want to research an archive, the depositor must give their permission. We will help you to apply for it.
How it works
If you want to search for something, email our service desk. Explain who you are, what type of material you are looking for, and the purpose of your research.
We check if relevant material might be available and then seek permission from the depositor that owns that material. This applies both to research on-site (in our reading room) and online (via our digital reading room). We will get back to you as soon as we have received a response from the depositor.
Research on-site in our reading room
We manage over 87,000 shelf meters of material and most archives are not digitized. Therefore, you often need to come to us in Bromma to access the material in our reading room. If you cannot visit us, we can, for a fee, assist you with your research. In such cases, permission from the depositor is also required.
Here is our location in Bromma
Research online in our digital reading room
Parts of the archives are available digitally. Digital material is preserved on our e-archive platform and some can also be accessed online via our digital reading room. Permission from the depositor is required here too, before this material is made available to your user account.

Research library
In our reading room, we also have a research library with business history books: company monographs, business leader biographies, industry overviews, and more. Unfortunately, you cannot take them home, but you can read them on-site. Which books we have can be seen in the library database Sigfrid. Find your book there and then book a time in our reading room.
