Swedish National Heritage Board's photostream |
We are the government agency responsible for cultural heritage and historic environment issues in Sweden. Our public archives hold more than two million photos – including copy prints, glass plates and other negatives, slides and digital copies. The photos were taken over a period stretching from the later part of the 19th century until today.
More about our photo collections
Our photo collections include individual collections from various times – such as that of Carl Curman, mainly from the latter part of the 19th century – as well as the Board’s own present photographic work and photos taken over more than a century in connection with the activities of the Board (which actually was founded in the year 1630! – long before photography was invented).
The themes represented include – among others – ancient monuments and churches, urban and rural environment, archaeology, industries and aerial photos. The photos often show people, both known and unknown.
Kulturmiljöbild – our photo database
More than 80.000 of our photos are digitised and searchable in our photo database online. The database is continually updated with newly taken photos and older photos that have been digitized.
