The Riksbank’s archives

The Riksbank’s archives are based on the minutes of the meetings of the General Council and the Executive Board. The older minutes also include documents received by the Council and archived copies of outgoing letters. 

The Riksbank’s general ledger and extensive statistical material are available in separate archive series. More recent documents (since 1993) have mainly been recorded in a centralised main register. 

In addition, there is a wealth of economic, legal and historical material. This has been collected from the different departments of the bank.

Archive catalogue

All archival material before 1900 is deposited with the Swedish National Archives. All archival material after 1900 is stored at the Riksbank’s premises.

The Riksbank’s archives are available for research. The older parts can be ordered via the National Archives Database to the National Archives reading room in Täby.
