Our digital reading room

Search business archives online

For many of of our depositors, we manage both physical and digital material. The digital material is kept in our e-archive platform. Parts of these are available directly online via our digital reading room. (For physical material, you need to come to our regular reading room in Bromma.)

You can find our digital reading room at arkivet.naringslivshistoria.se. There you can create a free login - and automatically gain access to to our open archives. (These are mostly discontinued Swedish businesses from the late 1800s and early 1900s.) If you then want to also search online in the digital archives belonging to an active company, you need permission - just like when you come to search on-site in Bromma. We help you apply for permission. More about searching the archives and obtaining permission here.
