Nobel Library, Research library in Gamla Stan, Stockholm, Sweden.
The Nobel Library is a research institution housed in the Stock Exchange Building in Gamla Stan and holds around 200,000 volumes of literature and academic materials. The spaces provide study areas and support interlibrary loan services for researchers.
The library was established in 1901 alongside the Nobel Institute of the Swedish Academy, beginning in a ten-room apartment at Norra Bantorget. It later relocated to its current location in the Stock Exchange Building.
The library collects contemporary works in their original languages to support the Nobel Prize selection process. Visitors can observe how the spaces are organized around this mission of evaluating global literary achievement.
The library is open Monday through Friday, with extended hours on Thursdays to accommodate research work. Visitors should check in advance what resources are available and whether registration is needed.
The library maintains a specialized database with detailed records of articles, reviews, and interviews related to literature. This extensive collection is used directly by the Swedish Academy for its Nobel Prize evaluations.
