The Swedish National Archives are responsible for regulating and maintaining information created in the Swedish public sector. Aside from preserving and granting access to documents from the last one thousand years, the agency also writes regulation regarding archival care and appraisal, and conducts inspections to see that the policies are upheld within the public sector. Hence the Swedish National Archives is an agency working with both cultural heritage and governmental administration.
The National Library of Sweden (Kungliga biblioteket) is both a library and a government agency. We collect, preserve and make available almost everything that is published in Sweden – from manuscripts, books and newspapers to music, TV programs and pictures.
The National Library is a Government Authority under the ambit of the Ministry of Education.
