New records in ArkivDigital

Produktkatalog
Our online library has over 54 million images which equates to more than 108 million pages of Swedish historical records. Many new records were added to ArkivDigital during the last month. Below is a summary of the highlights:

During May, we continued to focus on photographing the estate inventories (bouppteckningar) for the period 1901 to 1940. We have begun the massive project of photographing Stockholm city estate inventories for this period and the records up to 1905 are now available. The estate inventories for the rest of Stockholm county up to 1940 are now available in ArkivDigital.

In addition, estate inventories have been added for other counties. We want to especially mention that Kopparberg as well as Göteborg och Bohus counties are complete up to 1920 and that the records for Värmland county up to 1930 are now available.

Recently court books for the following areas have been added to the digital library: Arvidsjaurs tingslags häradsrätt (district court), Bjärke häradsrätt (district court), Edsbergs häradsrätt (district court), Edsbergs häradsrätt (district court), Gotlands norra häradsrätt (district court), Norrtälje rådhusrätt och magistrat (district court) along with Ölands södra mots häradsrätt (district court).

Our online library has now nearly 54 million images which equates to more than 100 million pages for your Swedish family and historical research. Many new records were added to ArkivDigital during the last month. Below is a summary of the highlights.

Estate Inventories
We continue to focus on photographing the estate inventories (bouppteckningar) for the period from 1901 to 1940. Below is a summary of the new additions.

All estate inventories from 1901 to 1940 for Blekinge and Halland counties are now available. Photographing is in progress for Malmöhus and Kristianstad counties for the years 1931 to 1940. The estate inventories for Stockholm county (except for Stockholm city) are now available up to 1930. Only a few volumes for the period 1931 to 1940 remain to be photographed. We will begin to photograph the estate inventories for the period from 1901 to 1940 for Stockholm city.

Concerning estate inventories, we want to mention some words about Borås city court and magistrate where the records are not preserved at the regional archive but instead at the city archive in Borås. We have been busy in Borås this past winter and early spring photographing and as a result the estate inventories for Borås are now available up to 1960.

Population/tax registers and real estate books
Other materials added during the last month were the district archives (häradsskrivarnas) population/tax registers (mantalslängder) from earliest times up to 1820 for Östergotland county along with real estate books (fastighetsböcker) for Malmö city. The real estate books, which began to be introduced in 1875, can include notes well into the 1900’s and are found in the archive “Inskrivningsdomarna I Malmö”. To search for this archive, click on advanced options in the search window and select archive type: court registrar.

Air Crashes (Flyghaverier)  and Defense Readiness (Beredskapsverket)
“Flygstaben: Centralexpeditionen”, a series about air crashes for the period 1934-1949, has been photographed during the last month and much of the material is now available in ArkivDigital.  The remaining volumes will soon be added to the online archive.  You can find the archive, “Flygstaben: Centralexpeditionen” in the military archives.

The Swedish military defense readiness agency’s official military work, “Beredskapsverket” is a comprehensive series describing the military defense readiness program for the years 1937-1945.  ArkivDigital has photographed about 19,000 images from this series and more will be added. You can find these documents in the “Beredskapsverket Avdelning 1” volume in the military archives.
